Rainfall Forecast Prompts Minimal Flooding Concerns

Rainfall totals this weekend are expected to be highest along and north of Interstate 40, according to weather forecasts. The heaviest rain is anticipated in these areas, but flooding concerns remain minimal, the National Weather Service said.

However, nuisance flooding in low-lying areas cannot be ruled out, especially in spots prone to minor water accumulation. Residents are advised to remain cautious and monitor local weather updates.

Forecasters emphasize that the overall risk of significant flooding remains low, but they recommend staying alert for localized flooding, particularly in poorly drained regions.
