  susceptible to heavy rain and flash flooding. Flash flooding is
  expected on roadways and in areas of poor drainage. Minor 
  flooding along small streams and creeks is possible as well.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that there is the potential for flash 
flooding which can be life-threatening. Heavy rain is expected to 
occur over a short period of time. Rapidly rising flood waters may
quickly inundate roadways and areas of poor drainage. Streams and
creeks could leave their banks, flooding nearby properties.

Please monitor the forecast, especially if you live in a location
that is prone to flooding. Be prepared to take action if a flash 
flood warning is issued for your area.
