A Flash Flood Watch in Effect Until Monday Evening

The National Weather Service has issued another Flash Flood Watch for our area through this evening. Their weather report is as follows:

Several rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected to impact the area into this evening. The storms will be capable of producing very heavy downpours resulting in urban, small stream and flash flooding. * Heavy rainfall within a short period of time can lead to rapidly rising water and flash flooding, particularly in urban areas, and along small streams and creeks. The ground remains fairly saturated due to the recent heavy rainfall.

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.
