Flash Flood WATCH Issued For Eastern Shore Today

A flash flood watch has been issued for Accomack and Northampton County as well as Worcester and Somerset County in Maryland from midnight Thursday through Friday at midnight.

Scattered showers, more widespread rain and thunderstorms are expected Thursday evening, through midnight and into Friday.

Total rainfall is projected to be 1-3 inches.

The ground is still saturated from a heavy month of rainfall on the Eastern Shore, thanks in part to Hurricane Irene.

A flash flood watch means conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding.
