Flash Flood Watch in Effect Starting this Afternoon

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood watch for our area, in effect starting at 2pm through this evening.

Showers and thunderstorms are forecast to bring periods of heavy rain to our region this afternoon into early evening. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches are expected for some areas, with local amounts up to 3 to 4 inches possible.

This rain could fall in a short period of time which could lead to areas of flash flooding. There is the potential for flooding along small streams and creeks, on roadways, and in areas of poor drainage.
