Weather Service Issues Flash Flood Watch for HdG

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for much of Maryland, including Harford County, from 2 a.m. Saturday to 2 a.m. Sunday.

Heavy rains are expected, with 1 to 3 inches anticipated, according to the weather service.

There is the potential for flash flooding due to already wet conditions, so the weather service advises keeping an eye on streams, creeks and urban areas.

A flash flood watch means that conditions may lead to flash flooding, which is a dangerous rapid rise in water.

Areas included in the flash flood watch include Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Carroll, Frederick, Harford, Howard, Montgomery and Prince George’s counties, as well as Baltimore City. The District of Columbia and parts of Virginia are also in the watch area.
