...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* A portion of eastern North Carolina, including the following 
  areas, Beaufort, Carteret, Craven, Duplin, Greene, Jones, 
  Lenoir, Mainland Dare, Mainland Hyde, Martin, Onslow, Outer 
  Banks Dare, Outer Banks Hyde, Pamlico, Pitt, Tyrrell, and 
  Washington. 

* Through Friday morning.

* Heavy rainfall will spread into the region today, then taper 
  off late tonight. Storm total rainfall amounts will range from 1
  to 3 inches with localized higher amounts. 

* This rainfall could produce flash flooding, particularly in 
  poor drainage areas near creeks, streams and ditches. Street 
  flooding is likely. In addition, the ground remains saturated 
  due to heavy rainfall last month from Hurricane Florence. As a 
  result, it will not take much rainfall to produce additional 
  flooding. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
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.
