* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Recent heavy rainfall has significantly lowered flash flood guidance in northeast Maryland in recent days, including several inches today in isolated spots. More torrential rainfall is possible this afternoon as multiple mesoscale convective complexes push through, which may result in flash flooding. Generally, most places will get another inch or so form this, but isolated spots where training occurs could see 2 to 3 inches of rainfall in a relatively short period of time.
