Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. If you live in a location that is prone to flash flooding, be prepared to take action if a warning is issued. If you observe rapidly rising water, move to higher ground immediately.
Do not drive through flood waters. The water may be deeper than you think it is.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.
