continue to drive the development of scattered showers and
thunderstorms through the evening hours. Storms that developed
and remain stationary have been producing rainfall rates around
2 inches per hour. Some storms could produce even more intense
rainfall.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation
and persons in the watch area should be alert to the potential for
heavy rainfall and be prepared to take quick action and move to
higher ground.
