THESE AMOUNTS...COMBINED WITH THE HEAVY RAIN THAT HAS ALREADY FALLEN...WILL LIKELY BE SUFFICIENT TO PRODUCE FLOODING IN THE WATCH AREA. LOCALIZED FLASH FLOODING CANNOT BE RULED OUT IN INDIVIDUAL STORMS...HOWEVER...AFTER SEVERAL DAYS OF PERSISTENT RAINFALL THE MAIN THREAT WILL BE MORE WIDESPREAD FLOODING OF CREEKS...RIVERS AND LOW-LYING AREAS. 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. && MC
