==DISCUSSION==

RAINFALL, COMBINED WITH MELTING SNOW, IS EXPECTED. THE FROZEN GROUND 
HAS A REDUCED ABILITY TO ABSORB THIS RAINFALL.

TOTAL RAINFALL: 20 TO 40 MM WITH GREATER THAN 40 MM POSSIBLE OVER 
HIGHER TERRAIN. 

TIME SPAN: THIS EVENING UNTIL SUNDAY EVENING. 

REMARKS: WHILE PRECIPITATION IS EXPECTED TO FALL MAINLY AS RAIN, A 
PERIOD OF ACCUMULATING SNOW MAY OCCUR AT FIRST OVER HIGHER TERRAIN. 
RAIN AND MILD TEMPERATURES WILL LEAD TO MELTING SNOW AND RISING 
WATER LEVELS IN STREAMS, CREATING A RISK OF LOCALIZED FLOODING. 

WATCH FOR SLIPPERY CONDITIONS WHERE RAIN FALLS ON FROZEN SURFACES. 
CLEAR SNOW AND ICE AWAY FROM STORM DRAINS AND CATCH BASINS TO HELP 
REDUCE THE POOLING OF WATER.
