* THROUGH THIS EVENING

* SHOWERS WILL CONTINUE THIS MORNING...AND MAY BECOME MORE
  WIDESPREAD THIS AFTERNOON. WE MAY ALSO SEE A FEW THUNDERSTORMS
  DEVELOP THIS AFTERNOON. DUE TO THE HIGH AMOUNT OF ATMOSPHERIC
  MOISTURE...THESE SHOWERS AND STORMS WILL HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO
  PRODUCE VERY HEAVY RAINFALL THAT MAY LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING ON
  SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS AND IN POOR DRAINING URBAN AREAS. IN
  ADDITION...RISES ON LARGER CREEKS AND RIVERS WILL BE POSSIBLE.

* THOSE LIVING ALONG CREEKS AND STREAMS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR THE
  POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING. IF YOU PLAN ON HIKING OR CAMPING
  DO NOT MAKE YOUR CAMPSITE NEAR A CREEK OR STREAM...NO MATTER
  HOW SMALL IT IS. WATER LEVELS MAY RISE DRAMATICALLY ON AREA
  STREAMS AS HEAVY RAINFALL MOVES THROUGH THE REGION.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION
SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
