...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY MORNING THROUGH
FRIDAY AFTERNOON...

The Flood Watch continues for Thursday morning through Friday afternoon.

* Rainfall, heavy at times, is forecast Thursday before
  gradually decreasing from west to east Thursday night.
  Thunderstorms with locally heavier rainfall rates are also
  possible, especially during Thursday afternoon. Any new
  rainfall will exacerbate already swollen rivers and streams.

* Total rainfall of around one and a half to two inches expected,
  with locally higher amounts possible especially with any
  thunderstorms. In addition to the potential for river flooding,
  urban and small stream flooding remains possible.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts. You should monitor later forecasts and be
alert for possible flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to
flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding
develop.
