Advisory
Flood Watch
Flood Watch from 7 PM until 1 PM 1/20. Be prepared to take action in the event that flooding develops.
* From 7 PM EST this evening through Sunday afternoon
* rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected across the watch
area, with locally higher amounts possible.
* Periods of moderate to heavy rain will occur from late this
evening through early Sunday morning. In the areas of heaviest
rainfall, urban and poor-drainage flooding is expected to occur.
Sensitive streams and creeks will also be susceptible to
flooding, especially in areas where convection enhances
rainfall rates. River flooding cannot be ruled out, particularly
if widespread rainfall totals exceed 2 inches.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
