REQUIRE MUCH IN THE WAY OF ADDITIONAL PRECIPITATION TO CAUSE
FLOODING. ACROSS THE WATCH AREA…1 TO 2 INCHES OF RAINFALL IS
EXPECTED.

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.
