These storms moved in from the west and have produced very heavy rainfall, damaging wind gusts, and even an isolated tornado.
As a result, the Weather Prediction Center from NOAA has placed areas north of the city under a level 3 out of 4 for flash flood potential. This area is very saturated from the heavy rain over the weekend, so any additional rainfall will easily lead to flooding.
