Deep tropical moisture from distant Tropical Storm Eta is forecast to interact with a slow moving cold front late tonight and tomorrow, resulting in widespread showers and a few thunderstorms. Heavy downpours are possible and could lead to localized flash flooding. The most likely period for flooding is Thursday, but heavier rainfall will begin late tonight. A widespread 2 to 4 inches of rain is forecast, but as much as 4 to 6 inches is possible closer to the coast with isolated higher amounts in embedded thunderstorms.
NEVER drive through flooded areas!
