People are advised to keep up to date with forecasts in case this Watch is upgraded to a full Warning, or additional areas are placed on Watch.
Valid: 30 hours from 5:00pm Tuesday to 11:00pm Wednesday
Forecast: Periods of heavy rain. Rainfall amounts may approach warning criteria, especially about the hills and ranges.
