* SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH THE AREA
THROUGH THIS EVENING AND INTO THE OVERNIGHT. THE STRONGER
STORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING TORRENTIAL DOWNPOURS, AND
THE STORMS MAY HAVE A TENDENCY TO MOVE OVER THE SAME AREAS.
RAINFALL TOTALS OF 1 TO 3 INCHES MAY OCCUR IN A SHORT AMOUNT OF
TIME. THIS COULD LEAD TO LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING.

* THE RISK OF FLASH FLOODING IS HIGHEST WITH STORMS THAT PRODUCE
EXCESSIVE RAINFALL RATES FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME.
FLOODING IS MOST LIKELY IN MORE URBANIZED AND IN POOR-DRAINAGE
LOCATIONS. RAPID RISES ON SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS ARE
POSSIBLE.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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 SOME ROADWAYS. STREAMS AND CREEKS COULD
LEAVE THEIR BANKS, FLOODING NEARBY PROPERTIES.

PLEASE MONITOR THE FORECAST, ESPECIALLY IF YOU LIVE IN A LOCATION
THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING. BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IF A FLASH
FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED FOR YOUR AREA.
