first round of significant rainfall is expected to occur late
tonight into early Saturday morning...well ahead of Hanna. A second
round of heavy rain is anticipated Saturday afternoon through early
Sunday morning as Hanna approaches and moves across the area. Over
the course of this weekend a widespread 3 to 6 inches of rain is
forecast in the watch area...with scattered 8 inch totals.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Much of this rain is expected to fall during
the nighttime. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder
to recognize the dangers of flash floods.
Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway.
For safetys sake...stay away from streams and openings to
drainage pipes. Swiftly moving waters can quickly pull a person
under water...creating a life threatening situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
