FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Accomack and Worcester Counties.

Three to 5 inches of rainfall are possible throughout the watch area tonight through Saturday morning.

Flooding could begin as early as this evening along some creeks, while larger rivers could see flooding persist into Sunday, the weather service said.

Flooding of roadways, underpasses and poor-drainage areas is also possible.

Motorists are urged not to attempt to drive through flooded roadways, and those living in flood-prone areas should be prepared to take action should flooding develop, the weather service said.
