A Flash Flood Watch is in effect through this afternoon. An upper level disturbance combined with abundant moisture will create conditions favorable for heavy rainfall with amounts of 1 to 2 inches possible. This will create a threat for flash flooding, particularly in urban areas, low water crossings. Also be very alert if camping near any creeks, streams, or arroyos the next 24 hours. Do not drive over water covered roads where you cannot see the underlying roadway. Turn Around, Don't Drown!
