A Facebook post warned that localized very heavy rainfall and flash flooding will become more of a concern from late afternoon into tonight, when storm coverage is expected to become more concentrated.
Flash flooding can develop quickly and poses a significant danger to people and property because it can inundate low-lying areas, wash out roads and make driving hazardous. Local weather offices and emergency managers routinely urge residents to treat floodwaters with caution and to follow official guidance when storms threaten.
Officials advise people in affected areas to monitor forecasts and emergency alerts, avoid driving through standing or moving water and move to higher ground if flooding begins. Homeowners should secure outdoor items and review evacuation plans if they live in flood-prone locations.
Because details in the post are limited, residents should stay tuned to local media and official agency channels for updates. We will provide more information as it becomes available.
