  soils. Much of the expected 2 to 2.5 inches of rain that should
  fall Saturday night into Sunday night will run off. This will
  lead to significant rises and the threat for flooding of area
  streams, creeks, and rivers. In addition, flash flooding is also
  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.
