  THREE INCHES POSSIBLE IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IF THIS RAIN
  HAPPENS TO FALL OVER AREAS ALREADY SATURATED FROM EARLIER

  FLOODING IS LIKELY.


A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY
RAIN ACROSS THE WATCH AREA AND THAT MAY LEAD TO FLOODING ALONG
STREAMS AND CREEKS AND IN URBAN AREAS. BE READY FOR QUICK ACTION
IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR IF A FLASH FLOOD WARNING IS ISSUED.

DO NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOOD WATERS...THE WATER MAY BE DEEPER THAN
YOU THINK IT IS.

IF YOU LIVE IN A LOCATION THAT IS PRONE TO FLOODING... PAY
SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE LATEST FORECASTS AND WEATHER STATEMENTS.
