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.

Campers and hikers should be particularly alert. Know where you

are relative to rivers and streams which can become killers in

heavy rains.
