From Brad Gilbert, county EMA director:
A storm system similar to the one we experienced a couple of weeks ago will move into the area overnight tonight (May 23) and will be slow to move out of the area by late on Thursday (May 25). Although similar in nature, this storm system does not have quite the amount of moisture to work with as the last big storm system; therefore, serious flooding is not expected at this time. Light rain will move into the area Wednesday morning with heavier rain possible Wednesday afternoon and evening. Because of the recent rains, ditches, streams, creeks, and rivers will likely rise fairly quick and low lying areas that typically see flooding issues may experience those type of issues. Significant river flooding issues are not expected. Ponding on roads and in city streets will be the primary issue, so please use extra caution when driving. Some thunderstorm activity may be embedded in the widespread rain Wednesday afternoon, but severe weather is not expected at this time. Rain will continue on Thursday; however, rain should be lighter in nature than it will on Wednesday.
