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

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