…FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM 7 AM CDT THIS MORNING THROUGH
SATURDAY MORNING…

The National Weather Service in Omaha/Valley has expanded a Flash Flood Watch from Fremont and Page Counties to include Montgomery County.

* From 7 AM CDT this morning through 7-a.m. Saturday

* A prolonged period of thunderstorms is expected this morning through Saturday morning. Some locations could see over an inch of additional rainfall. This rainfall will occur on already saturated soils, so the potential for flash flooding will
increase.

* Low-lying and flood-prone areas will be most susceptible to the dangers of flash flooding. Areas near rivers, creeks, and streams could become flooded during and immediately after heavy rainfall.

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.
