Jefferson County Emergency Management is working with the National Weather Service.
They are indicating the possibility exists tomorrow into Wednesday for
very heavy rain in the ICFPD area. Here are some of the details from the NWS:
1. The air moisture will be in the 99th percentile
tomorrow into Wednesday meaning there is ample moisture in the
atmosphere.
2. We will experience upslope flow. We all know
upslope means heavy snow in the winter and this time of year it triggers
heavy rain.
3. Most areas in Jefferson County can anticipate at least 1 - 2 inches
of rainfall starting late tomorrow morning or early afternoon
and lasting 30 to 36 > hours.
4. Isolated storms will be capable of producing
rainfall rates of 2-3 inches per hour for a period of one or two hours.
Have you prepared for potential flooding? Are you ready to evacuate if needed?
