THE REMNANTS OF TROPICAL STORM CINDY ARE EXPECTED TO MOVE THROUGH OR 
CLOSE TO OUR AREA ON FRIDAY. HEAVY RAIN ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM 
MIGHT OVERSPREAD THE REGION AS EARLY AS THURSDAY NIGHT AND WOULD 
AFFECT THE AREA THE HARDEST DURING THE DAYLIGHT HOURS ON FRIDAY. 
ALONG THE AXIS OF HEAVIEST RAIN THE LIKELIHOOD EXISTS FOR 3 TO 5 
INCHES OF RAIN WITH THIS EVENT WITH SOME LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS IN 
ANY THUNDERSTORMS.

ESPECIALLY IF THIS PRECIPITATION WAS TO FALL WITHIN A SHORT PERIOD 
OF TIME AND OVER REGIONS THAT ARE VULNERABLE TO FLOODING, THIS WILL 
CAUSE FLOODING ALONG SMALLER STREAMS AND POSSIBLY SOME OF THE LARGER 
RIVERS IN THE REGION. EVEN WITHOUT STREAM FLOODING, THERE WILL BE 
POOR DRAINAGE FLOODING THAT MAY VERY WELL IMPACT THE MORNING COMMUTE 
ON FRIDAY.
 
THE FUTURE PATH OF THE STORM WILL BE CRITICAL IN SO FAR AS WHERE THE 
RAINFALL TOTALS MAY FALL. WHEN WE ARE FOLLOWING THE STORM,    
REMEMBER, WE NEED TO CONCENTRATE MORE ON THE UNCERTAINTY OF THE 
TRACK AT THIS JUNCTURE. 

RESIDENTS WHO LIVE ALONG THE STREAMS, CREEKS AND RIVERS SHOULD 
CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST WEATHER FORECASTS. IF YOU ARE IN THE 
WATCH AREA, KEEP INFORMED, AND BE READY TO TAKE ACTION IF FLOODING IS
OBSERVED OR IF A FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED. REMEMBER AT THIS POINT 
THIS IS ONLY A FLOOD WATCH AND THERE IS STILL A MODERATELY LARGE 
UNCERTAINTY AS TO WHERE THE FINAL TRACK OF THE REMNANTS OF CINDY 
WILL FOLLOW. STAY TUNE TO LOCAL MEDIA OUTLETS OR NOAA WEATHER RADIO 
ALL HAZARDS, THE VOICE OF THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE, FOR THE 
LATEST WEATHER INFORMATION.
