March 23 Flood Watch

The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for our area from 2am until 2pm on Saturday March 23rd.

From the NWS: Rainfall of 1.5 to 2.5 inches is likely late Friday night through Saturday morning. Rain will depart by Saturday afternoon. The bulk of the rain is expected to fall overnight Friday into early Saturday morning within roughly a six-hour window. This may result in flooding of urban and poor drainage areas, as well as on smaller streams.

A reminder that pre-packaged sandbags are available for pick up from behind Town Hall or at the Community Garden on 59th Ave.

Plan ahead by cleaning out gutters and drains around your property today before tomorrow's rain.
