Flash flood watch issued |
September 4, 2013 |
The National Weather Service has issued a flash
flood watch for the region, including Boundary
County, in effect from late tonight through
Friday afternoon. A large low pressure system is expected to build up through the area early Thursday, increasing the chance for showers and thunderstorms. Expected to last for three days, the system, thre National Weather Service says, could bring one to two inches of rain, with even higher local rainfall possible in some areas. The danger of flash flood is greatest in steeply sloping areas and in narrow canyons, and in addition to the possibility of flooding, this system could also trigger mudslides and cause debris jams in area rivers, creeks and streams. |
