New Flash Flood Threat: Separate Rounds Of Slow-Moving Storms Take Aim At Region
Separate rounds of slow-moving storms with heavy downpours at times will bring a new risk of flash flooding to the area into early next week. AccuWeather Chief Meteorologist Jon Porter said that a "major concern is that renewed, serious flash flooding can occur in some of the same areas that were heavily impacted by devastating and deadly flooding in the last several days because it will now take even less rainfall to result in dangerous flash flooding in these areas given how saturated the ground is.” The time frame for the first system is overnight Thursday, July 13 into Friday, July…
