Full Notification

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch through late tonight

Showers and thunderstorms producing heavy downpours will develop this morning and continue through tonight. The trend appears for there to be one round early this morning, followed by a potential lull in the heavy rain from late morning through early afternoon. Another round of slow moving showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon through this evening.  Although rainfall amounts area wide will generally average less than one inch, there is the potential for locally heavy rainfall of 2 to 3 inches, possibly more, where thunderstorms train over the same location. 

Heavy rainfall within a short period of time can lead to rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban areas, and along small creeks and streams. The ground remains fairly saturated due to recent heavy rains over the past several weeks.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash
flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to
occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters
may quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams
and creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.

Instructions:

Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location
that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash
flood warning is issued for your area.
