The\nhighest rainfall amounts are forecast south of I-80 where totals in\nexcess of 1 to 2 inches are possible.\n\nMany rivers and streams across the region remain elevated from\nrecent heavy rainfall. Thus, rainfall amounts of this magnitude will\nresult in renewed rises on area streams and rivers, with some\npotentially topping  flood stage.\n\nWhile confidence is growing that the greatest flood threat will be\nsouth of I-80, some uncertainty in exact placement of heaviest\nrainfall remains. Anyone in or near flood prone areas should thus\nclosely monitor latest forecasts.\n\nThis outlook will be updated by early Sunday morning."}
