This, combined with its projected slow movement, will create the possibility for localized street flooding if heavy rain occurs during an extended period of time,\" Gall\u00E9 said.The primary threats were frequent lighting, heavy rainfall and gusts up to 40 mph which could down tree limbs and blow around unsecured small objects.Additionally, with the ground somewhat saturated in some locations from Monday's rain, Gall\u00E9 said, more rain today will further saturate those spots and begin saturating other areas.
