* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...

  - Widespread heavy rainfall over the last week has lead to very

    saturated ground, excessive runoff, and rising rivers and

    streams across the area. Another couple rounds of showers and

    storms are expected this weekend, with widespread moderate to

    locally heavy rainfall possible through Sunday evening.

    Additional rainfall totals of 1 to 3 inches will be possible,

    with locally higher amounts leading to both flash flooding

    and mainstem river flooding concerns.
