FLASH FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING FOR MADISON COUNTY, MO
Waves of thunderstorms with heavy rain are likely to move across the area through late this evening. While any one storm may not cause flooding, the cumulative effect could produce flash flooding very quickly as subsequent waves move across the area.
Heavy rainfall will result in flooding of low lying or poor
drainage areas...and ultimately dangerous flash flooding on smaller creeks and streams. Significant rises on larger streams and rivers will also be possible.
Instructions:
A Flash Flood Watch is advanced notice that conditions are favorable that may lead to flash flooding. People in the Watch area, especially in flood prone areas, should use this time to make preparations just in case. Stay informed, and be ready for quick action if flooding is observed or if a Flash Flood Warning is issued.
