Storm System Expected to Bring Heavy Rain Flooding and Severe Weather to Parts of the U.S.

Coastal communities and areas with poor drainage may face an increased risk of flooding if rainfall totals become significant. Streets, underpasses, and other flood-prone locations can become hazardous during heavy downpours. Drivers are reminded never to attempt to cross flooded roads, as water depth and road conditions may be difficult to judge.

According to weather experts, unusually warm ocean temperatures and unstable atmospheric conditions are contributing to the development of the storm system.
