Flood Watch Issued

Flood Watches have been issued for parts of the WREX viewing area through Sunday evening. While it's pretty quiet so far this evening, and approaching warm front will move north through the overnight on Saturday and we could see a few showers and even some thunderstorms. With the threat of thunderstorms, heavy downpours are possible. With all the recent rain we've seen this past week, the ground in some spots is fairly saturated. So as rain continues to fall, the ground will not be able to soak it up as quickly, leading to flooding.

One a side note: I was watching the Weather Channel this morning (yes, I know) and they were talking about some of the flooding that has been occurring in Indiana and Ohio. Well, one lucky reported manged to run into Colts head coach, Tony Dungy, along a flooded residental road. After talking to him for a while, the reporter told Tony that "he has seen cars make it through, and the only time they've gotten stuck was when they tried to turn around in muddy yards." He then preceded to tell Tony to "just drive down the middle of the road and you should be fine." And he did!! I didn't get a chance to see if Dungy actually made it, but please let this be a reminder to you that if you come across a road that is flooded, no matter if you think you can make it through or not, just TURN AROUND! -CANDY
