MULTIPLE ROUNDS OF THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO AFFECT THE REGION THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT. GIVEN THE WET ANTECEDENT CONDITIONS…AREAS OF FLOODING AND FLASH FLOODING ARE POSSIBLE. IN ADDITION…RISES ON AREA RIVERS AND STREAMS ARE LIKELY…WHICH COULD EVENTUALLY LEAD TO SOME MINOR RIVER FLOODING BY THE WEEKEND.
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. REMEMBER TO TURN AROUND…DON`T DROWN.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
