to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. If you live in a flood
prone area, this would be a good time to review an emergency
escape plan in the event high water or a debris flow threatens
your home.
