Poor drainage areas will flood. Rivers, creeks and streams will rise, and those smaller waterways will overflow onto roads. Leaves in many spots will come down thanks to the drought-stressed trees. Rain will end between 8 a.m. and Noon Friday, the northwest breeze will pick up with gusts to 30 mph and we will see the sun between clouds. The remainder of the weather forecast will be quiet, dry and cooler.
