Rain continues – Flood Watch until Tomorrow Night

A persistent plume of rainfall will continue along a slow-moving frontal boundary tonight into Tuesday. The rain will be moderate in intensity at times, causing rises on area rivers and streams and likely periods of street flooding. The heaviest rain appears to be from 10 pm tonight through 6 am Tuesday ahead of a potent cold front.

The rain has already resulted in minor river flooding and could cause some area rivers to rise to moderate flood stage.  In addition, isolated flash flooding is possible Monday night into early Tuesday.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.

Monitor forecasts and be alert for possible Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. As always remember this slogan…Turn Around…Don`t Drown.
