The flooding risk is twofold- high rainfall rates along and south of the I-10 corridor may lead to flash flooding and rises along area rivers, creeks, and streams. While rainfall coverage across the northern zones will be more sparse, antecedent rainfall over the last 48 hours has resulted in increased ground saturation in these areas. As a result, any developing storms will have a greater potential to produce flooding despite their more isolated coverage. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
