The National Weather Service said many of the areas included in the watch received 1-3 inches of rainfall Sunday morning and are set to receive 2-3 more inches overnight into Monday morning.

As a result, extra runoff could potentially flood rivers, creeks, streams and other low-lying areas, per NWS.

Flooding is also possible in poor drainage areas and low-water crossings.
