At 605 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a cluster of thunderstorms

moving storms have a 3 to 5 inch per hour rainfall rate, which could 
lead to localize flooding.

         mph.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Localized flooding in low lying areas and ponding of water 
         on roadways. Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If outdoors, consider seeking shelter inside a building. 

Locally heavy rain will quickly reduce visibility and result in
ponding of water on roadways, standing water in low lying areas, and
minor flooding of creeks, streams, and areas of poor drainage.
Drivers are urged to slow down and use extra caution to avoid
hydroplaning.
