Flood Watch In Effect Through Thursday Night

August 24, 2022

A  flood watch is in effect through Thursday night for the entire area.

Additional rounds of locally heavy rain are expected across the region through Thursday. A very moist airmass is in place and with slow storm motions expected and storms likely training over the same area another 3 to 5 inches of rain will be possible. With the already saturated soils this could quickly lead to runoff and flash flooding of low lying and poorly draining areas.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
