Hype can be a very, very bad thing. Telling people to be prepared and that the chance for some rainfall is there, but don't go bonkers...and that goes for both underdoing and overdoing it as well. Make sure people know what they need to know and make sure they are prepared -- overprepared if anything -- but not needlessly scare the general public. People read these statements and take them as doomsday scenarios, whether intended as such or not. Uncertainty is high out to 4-5 days, meaning any forecast should be tempered yet still highlight that there might be a chance of increased rainfall (not saying there will be 5-10" mind you, but the chance for increased rains). This isn't directed at anyone, but is just moreso a rant of my own to follow up on yours.
