Description
Synopsis: Radar and satellite images continue to show moisture streaming into the area as a result of the proximity of Tropical Storm Fiona. Rainfall rates of greater than 40 mm (over 1.60 in) per hour will cause minor flash flooding of low-lying and poor drainage areas. Streams, creeks and drains may be elevated or even overflow into streets and flash-flood-prone areas. Additionally, a flash flood watch is in effect for the possibility of moderate flooding or worse.
Potential Impacts: Little, at this time.
Instructions
Precautionary/preparedness actions: A flash flood advisory means that streams, creeks and drains may be elevated or even overflowing into streets and flood-prone areas; however, property damage, if any, will be minimal. Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the roadway. Report severe weather to the Met Office.
