GIVEN THIS AMOUNT OF RAIN, THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR AREAS OF
DANGEROUS FLOODING TO DEVELOP OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS. SMALL
STREAMS AND POSSIBLY MAIN STEM RIVERS WILL REACH FLOOD STAGE.
SMALLER STREAMS WILL RESPOND FIRST TO THE RAINFALL FOLLOWED BY THE
LARGER RIVERS. FLOODING COULD BEGIN AS SOON AS LATE TONIGHT ALONG
FAST RESPONDING CREEKS, WHILE THE LARGER, SLOWER RESPONDING
RIVERS, COULD SEE FLOODING PERSIST INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. IN
ADDITION, THESE RAINFALL AMOUNTS HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE
FLOODING OF ROADWAYS AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR POSSIBLE
FLOOD WARNINGS. THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD BE
PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLOODING DEVELOP.
