Flood Watch
Excessive Rainfall Outlook Thursday
Severe Weather Outlook Thursday
Excessive Rainfall Outlook Friday
A Flood Watch is in effect from Thursday afternoon into Friday afternoon. Expect rounds of strong thunderstorms that will produce very heavy rainfall in a short period of time. With the rains falling on grounds that are saturated, and in areas with high flows on river, creeks, bayous, and drainage systems, the risk for flash flooding is increased. Those in flood prone areas should stay weather aware and prepare in case flood warnings are issued.
