Low areas and areas that drain slowly or poorly could experience flooding. Keep an eye out if you live near creeks, rivers, or streams as they may be on the rise and possibly overflow. A Flash Flood Watch means conditions exist which could lead to Flash Flooding. Keep your radio nearby or download our free station app to be able to track the weather in the Crossroads anytime.
