Imminent Doom…Yes, it’s raining and yes, it will flood.

EXPECT RAIN TO OVERSPREAD THE ENTIRE AREA BY LATE AFTERNOON. THE HEAVIEST RAIN WILL OCCUR LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. RAIN WILL DIMINISH FROM SOUTHWEST TO NORTHEAST MONDAY. ONE TO THREE INCHES OF RAIN WILL FALL ON TOP OF SATURATED SOILS.

THE HEAVY RAIN MAY CAUSE STREAMS AND CREEKS TO OVERFLOW THEIR BANKS. ALSO…URBAN AREAS PRONE TO POOR DRAINAGE WILL BE SUSCEPTIBLE TO FLOODING. AS THE WATER WORKS ITS WAY INTO THE RIVERS MONDAY…RIVER FLOODING WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE UPPER POTOMAC AND SHENANDOAH BASINS.

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.

When will it end?  I’m building the proverbial ark, i.e. pounding beers and thinking about dancing in the rain.
