Rain Heavy At Times...
Periods of rain, heavy at times, can be expected through about
daybreak, before ending. Total rainfall amounts of 1 to 3 inches
are forecast before the rain comes to an end, or tapers to light
showers.
A flood watch remains in effect through 7:00 AM for runoff which
may result in minor flooding. During periods of high rain rates,
watch for ponding of water on roads. Also watch for debris which
may get washed onto the highway and pose a driving hazard.
For your safety, if traveling, slow down! It is much harder to
bring a vehicle to a stop when the road is wet. Also, please avoid
driving through areas covered by water. The water may be deeper
than you think.
