PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FLOODING BASED ON
CURRENT FORECASTS. FLOOD DANGERS ARE MORE DIFFICULT TO OBSERVE AT
NIGHT. BE ESPECIALLY ALERT WHEN DRIVING...SINCE WATER CROSSING
THE ROADWAYS MAY NOT BE SEEN UNTIL YOU ARE ALREADY IN IT. DRIVE
AT A SLOWER SPEED DURING HEAVY RAINS. DO NOT CROSS ROADS WHERE
WATER IS FLOWING ACROSS IT...SINCE THE WATER MAY HAVE WASHED THE
ROAD AWAY.

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.
