There is a Flood Watch in effect today starting at 6pm and going until 6am Saturday. A Wind Advisory will also go into effect at 7am Saturday until 4pm on Saturday, according to the National Weather Service (NWS).
Per the NWS, “As a potent frontal system pushes through the region, flooding and strong winds will impact portions of the area today. The wind sticks around much of the weekend while the coldest air mass of the season arrives early/mid next week.
A period of moderate to locally heavy rain is expected ahead of a cold front, beginning late Friday afternoon and continuing through Friday evening before ending overnight. Rainfall amounts around three quarters of an inch to an inch and a half are most likely. Most of the rain will fall in a three to six hour period Friday evening. The locally heavy rain combined with already saturated soil may cause excess runoff leading to flooding of streams and creeks.”
We are also still monitoring the potential of snow next week and will have an update on that later today.
