MESSAGE 2’S CONTINUE VALID UNTIL 10:00 PM
Message 2’s (NWS Flood/Flash Flood Watch) will continue valid
until 10:00 PM this evening.
Temperatures in the 50’s over the District are resulting in more of
a widespread non-thunderstorm rain event currently and this trend is
expected to continue into the evening. The threat for heavy rainfall
from thunderstorms is now lower than earlier today. With a saturated
ground in many areas light to moderate rain will continue to
accumulate and produce runoff, filling smaller creeks and streams into
the evening.
The scattered to numerous rain showers will continue likely through
8:00 or 9:00 PM, diminishing from W to E by around 10:00 PM or shortly
after. Ahead of midnight dry conditions are expected to develop and
continue for the remainder of the overnight period.
STORM RAINFALL POTENTIAL AND DURATION: Non-thunderstorm rain showers
are producing rainfall rates of 0.1-0.5” in 30-60 minutes. Moderate
rain showers may produce up to 1.0” in 45-60 minutes.
WORST CASE SCENARIO: Should a thunderstorm develop brief heavy
rainfall of 0.5-1.5” in 10-30 minutes is possible.
