...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY UNTIL 9 PM PDT
SATURDAY...

THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE HAS ISSUED A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR
SOUTHERN NEVADA...THE SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY DESERTS AND NORTHWEST
ARIZONA. THIS WATCH IS IN EFFECT FROM NOON TODAY AND WILL CONTINUE
UNTIL 9 PM SATURDAY EVENING.

A VERY MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIR MASS OVER THE REGION WILL RESULT IN
ANOTHER ROUND OF THUNDERSTORMS THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING AND THROUGH
THE DAY SATURDAY. ALTHOUGH THERE MAY BE A LULL IN THUNDERSTORM
COVERAGE DURING THE OVERNIGHT HOURS TONIGHT...ANY STORMS THAT DEVELOP
WILL BE SLOW MOVING AND CAPABLE OF PRODUCING OVER ONE INCH OF
RAINFALL PER HOUR. THIS WILL LEAD TO POSSIBLE FLASH FLOODING
ESPECIALLY IN STEEP TERRAIN...CANYONS AND NORMALLY DRY WASHES.

REMEMBER...A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING IS POSSIBLE BUT
NOT IMMINENT IN THE WATCH AREA.

STAY TUNED TO NOAA WEATHER RADIO AND OTHER LOCAL MEDIA FOR FURTHER
DETAILS OR UPDATES.
