According to Julie Atchison, the storm system is expected to bring intense rainfall, with accumulations potentially exceeding typical levels for this time of year. Wind gusts could reach high speeds, posing risks to outdoor structures and transportation. Thunderstorms may accompany the system, increasing the likelihood of lightning strikes and localized flooding.
