NWS forecast:
We are actively monitoring/issuing on streams/rivers that are in flood. There had been concern earlier about the possibility of another round of heavy rainfall as the upper level low crosses the area. Yes there will be potential for more rain but it does appear that it will be heavy enough/long enough to cause significant rises. However flash flood watch will stay up until either the expiration time or the precipitation threat ends.
Cool for late July today/tonight with highs in the low/mid 70s and lows in the 50s to low 60s. Dewpoints also drop into the 50s overnight making for a rather pleasant overnight. Winds will also be gusty during the day with northerly gusts up to 25 mph.
