* Through this afternoon

* rainfall of 2 to 4 inches can be expected across the watch
area through 6 PM Tuesday.

* The heavy rainfall will cause area streams and creeks to
overflow their banks... cause water levels to rise in poor
drainage areas... and may lead to dangerous flooding conditions
on roads at low water crossings.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
