A Flood Watch is in effect along and north of I-20 through 12 PM on Monday. A second Flood Watch is in effect for our counties south of I-20 beginning 7 AM Monday through 7 PM Monday evening. The heaviest rain and greatest flood risk will occur Sunday night through Monday. Rain amounts of 2 to 5 inches are the most likely total at any one location, but isolated amounts of 8+ inches are possible. Everyone in the watch area should plan on plenty of extra time to travel, especially on Monday morning as the commute will be disrupted. Know your alternate routes should your normal roads be flooded, and never drive through flooded roads or barricades. If you’re in a location that has flooded in the past, monitor the weather and be prepared to move to higher ground.
