Tropical moisture associated with remnants of Barry will interact with a cold front to produce thunderstorms and locally heavy rainfall.

The NWS said rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour will be possible.

Flooding could quickly develop along creeks and small streams and urban, low-lying and poor drainage areas.

Ponding of water on roadways is likely to occur.
