* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Repeated rounds of showers and thunderstorms producing heavy
    rain are expected late this week through the first half of
    the weekend. Already wet soils in some areas will make those
    locations more susceptible to flooding, especially with
    additional rounds of rainfall. Localized significant flooding
    may develop for areas that see several inches of rainfall.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action 
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
