…FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM THIS AFTERNOON THROUGH MONDAY MORNING…
The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for portions of southwest Iowa and Nebraska, including the following areas, in southwest Iowa, Fremont, Mills, Montgomery, and Page. In Nebraska, Butler, Cass, Gage, Jefferson, Johnson, Lancaster, Nemaha, Otoe, Pawnee, Platte, Richardson, Saline, and Seward.
Heavy rain has saturated soils over parts of eastern Nebraska the past few days. Soils are not quite as wet in southwest Iowa. Rainfall amounts from 1 to 3 inches will be possible in the watch area, and isolated amounts of over 3 inches could occur.
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.
