For the period 6am to 12 Noon today:
Widespread light to moderate rain, scattered heavier showers and possibly a few isolated thunderstorms can be expected to continue across the local region.
Locally heavy downpours of rain are possible with any scattered heavier showers or isolated thunderstorms. Most precipitation, however, will continue to average light to frequently moderate in intensity on average across most of the area through 12 Noon. An average rainfall rate with this activity is currently around 0.25 to 0.3 inch per hour. The spotty heavier showers and any isolated thunderstorms may produce rates of around 0.5-0.75 inch per hour or so in the affected areas (during the period of time they are impacted).
Significant problems with flooding, etc., do not appear likely through 12 Noon for most of the area. As rain continues to fall and accumulate over time, look for ponding and/or standing water especially in low lying and poor drainage areas (i.e., nuisance "street flooding" in some of those areas) especially in any areas that tend to see a few periods of heavier showers from time to time.
East to Northeast winds will continue to average 20-25 mph on a sustained basis this morning, with gusts of 30-35 mph common early and then some gusts of 35-40 mph increasing especially by mid-morning.
