GREENVILLE, N.C. (WITN) - The soaking rain that is expected tonight will bring the risk of isolated flooding for areas east of I-95.

Most, if not all, of our one to three inches of rain is expected to fall throughout-Sunday time period. With our soil already saturated, watch for standing water in areas with poor drainage. Roadways could have ponding Sunday morning too. Areas that tend to struggle with flooding during heavy rain events could see a flash flooding threat.
