The Flood Watch continues for

* a portion of northeast South Carolina... including the following
areas... Darlington... Dillon... Florence...
Georgetown... Horry... Marion... Marlboro and Williamsburg.

* Through late Thursday night

area today and Thursday. The heaviest rain is expected to occur
today. 4 to 6 inches of rain is expected through
Thursday... with locally higher amounts possible.

Rainfall rates will generally be moderate to occasionally heavy
but the prolonged nature of the rain will lead to potential

flooding later in the week. Some of the major rivers may
experience minor flooding Friday into the weekend.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

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