A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS ARE FAVORABLE FOR HEAVY RAIN AND RESULTANT FLOODING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS. YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE ALERT FOR...AND BE READY TO REACT TO... POSSIBLE FLOOD WARNINGS. IF FLOODING DEVELOPS, THOSE LIVING IN AREAS PRONE TO FLOODING SHOULD TAKE ACTION BY MOVING TO HIGHER GROUND.
