We are particularly concerned about the potential impact the storm may have on the area surrounding the rivers as there may be moderate or even major flooding. Across the state we expect anywhere from one to 4 inches of rain and of the most significant rainfall to occur between early evening and about 2 a. M. Tomorrow morning. We also expect high wind with a potential to cause Power Outages tonight through tomorrow. Alina workers, forest crews and hazard workers are monitoring the situation literally minute by minute
