The National Weather Service has issued a FLOOD WATCH for Montgomery County from 9pm this evening through Friday Morning. A low pressure system over the Tennessee Valley will approach the Mid Atlantic tonight. This system has the potential to bring heavy rain on the order of 2-4" and may have the potential to cause severe and unexpected flooding within the next 24 hours. Rainfall rates may reach 2" per hour in heavier cells. Caution should be used during tomorrow mornings rush hour.
Floods kill more people every year than any other weather hazard. Do not drive through flooded areas. As little as 2 feet of water can sweep a vehicle off the road. Please stay alert for any warnings.
A FLOOD WATCH is issued when flooding is possible based on current forecasts and some creeks and streams such as Seneca Creek may reach flood stage.
