A warm moist air mass flowing up from the south running into a frontal boundary has been the focal point for showers and thunderstorms. These showers and storms were scattered but have been very slow moving on Memorial Day and today. Rainfall rates were up to 1-2 in/hr and some localized areas underneath the storms received about a quick 3 inch rainfall. Rainfall rates this high will cause localized flooding and ponding on the roadways, that's why flood advisories were issued on Monday for a few areas.
As of now, more scattered showers and storms are expected Thursday afternoon and Friday. If you happen to encounter any flooded roadways while driving, just turn around and find another way. It only takes 2 feet of fast flowing water to move a car and 6 inches of fast flowing water to knock and adult over. So it is best to take the National Weather Service advice, "Turn Around Don't Drown."
