The Flood Watch indicates that flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. Periods of locally heavy rainfall resulting from Tropical Depression Edouard could lead to flooding in rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action should flooding develop. Ensure you have a plan in place and stay informed through official channels.
