However, with isolated rainfall totals up to 2.5 inches expected, there may be some localized flooding. The threat of flash flooding is low given modest rainfall rates less than 1 inch per hour, but isolated urban, poor drainage, and small stream flooding is possible. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
