A Flash Flood Watch means that rapid flooding of streams... creeks and other drainage areas will be possible within the watch area. People in the watch area should check preparedness requirements... Keep informed... and be ready for quick action if flash flooding is observed or if a warning is issued. Do not stay in areas subject to flooding when water begins rising. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross safely. Remember to turn around... and don't drown. You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.
