* Through Sunday evening
* the National Weather Service advises that streams now swollen
from the continued snow melt and recent rainfall may flood at
any time. Widespread rain... heavy at times will continue
today... with additional showers expected through Sunday. The
rain on already saturated ground... along with continued higher
elevation snowmelt will aggravate the risk of flooding for
small streams and creeks... as well as for points along larger
rivers.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts of snow melt and rainfall.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
If flooding does develop... move to higher ground. Also never go
through flood waters. The water depth and current may be too
great and the water temperature will be near freezing. Turn
around. Don't drown.
