  • Through Friday morning

  • Several rounds of heavy rain producing showers and some thunderstorms will continue through tonight. These storms have the potential to produce localized flash flooding as many locations have received significant rainfall in the past week, including additional rain this morning. Rainfall amounts of 1 and a half inches up to 3 inches are expected, with localized areas up to 4 inches.

  • Area rivers and streams are running high, which will mean rainfall will more quickly go into runoff. Urban and small stream flooding is likely.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS…

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
