Flash Flood Watch now in effect through late tonight
The Flash Flood Watch is now in effect for portions of Florida.
The Florida counties: Calhoun, central Walton, coastal Bay,Holmes, inland Bay, inland Walton, Jackson, south Walton and Washington.
* Through late tonight
* for possible very heavy rain
A band of rain will continue moving slowly east across the region
this morning... producing areas of heavy rain. Most areas will
receive rain amounts of around 2 inches... but a few areas could
get up to 6 inches of rain in a fairly short time.
It is these areas that may experience flash flooding; especially in low lying
areas... poorly draining locations... and urban areas.
Also areas that have recently received heavy rain will obviously be more
vulnerable.
A band of heavy rain set up over portions of the Florida Panhandle Monday afternoon and evening... and the storm total rainfall estimated by local radars was up to a foot near Rock Hill in Walton County.
The threat for heavy rain is expected to end from west to east later today.
Precautionary/preparedness actions...
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
Monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should
flash flood warnings be issued.
