Then, the National Weather Service adds that we are going to see a prolonged period of rainfall, including some thunderstorms, likely starting Christmas night and continuing thru the holiday weekend and into early next week. The National Weather Service says early estimates of widespread rainfall amounts of 3 to 5 inches could cause flooding along streams, creeks and rivers.
