  RAINFALL AHEAD OF THE STORM SHOULD RANGE FROM 2 TO 5 INCHES
  TOTAL BY 7 AM WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE HEAVIEST RAINFALL TOTALS

* WITH RAINFALL TOTALS AS HIGH AS 5 INCHES, WE EXPECT SOME STREAMS
  AND CREEKS TO RISE TO NEAR OR ABOVE BANKFULL ON TUESDAY. LOW
  AREAS AND URBAN AREAS WILL BE MOST LIKELY TO FLOOD. MOST FLASH
  FLOODING WILL BE CAUSED BY THUNDERSTORMS THAT CONCENTRATE
  RAINFALL IN RELATIVELY SMALL AREAS...ESPECIALLY IN STEEP TERRAIN
  AND URBAN AREAS.

A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD
TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
THOSE ALONG STREAM AND CREEKS SHOULD MONITOR FOR RAPID RISES
AND TAKE APPROPRIATE ACTION. YOU SHOULD ALSO MONITOR LATER
FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD
WARNINGS BE ISSUED.
