Statement as of 1:11 am EDT on September 5, 2008 |
... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from Saturday morning

The Flash Flood Watch continues for
* portions of Maryland... the District of Columbia and Virginia...

* From Saturday morning through Saturday afternoon
* heavy rain associated with Tropical Storm Hanna will move
north across the region Friday afternoon into Saturday. It
appears at this time that the heaviest rains would fall late
Friday night into early Saturday afternoon. This is largely
dependent on the exact track of Hanna. However... along the
path of this storm totals of 3 to 6 inches are expected.
Latest flash flood guidance indicates that amounts of 3 to 4
inches in 3 hours or less will cause small streams and creeks
to flow out of their banks.
* If heavy rain develops... expect small streams to overflow and
low lying roads to flood. Do not ever drive into flood waters.
A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
