Flash Flood Watch as Rain Expected Today Posted 27 June 2008 The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch today for much of the area  through this evening, Friday, June 27. Counties in the watch area include Black Hawk, Bremer, Buchanan, Delaware, Dubuque, Jackson, Jones and Linn counties.   Periods of thunderstorms are expected to develop and move across portions of the watch area through this evening. This storm activity could produce rainfall of 1.5 to 3 inches with locally higher amounts by last evening.   The ground in the watch area remains saturated from heavy rainfall the past few nights as well as earlier this month. Any additional heavy rain will run off quickly. Area rivers and streams, already high, will experience rising water levels once again.   A Flash Flood Watch means that flash flooding is possible. Area residents are requested to monitor forecasts and take action of flash flood warnings are issued or flash flooding develops.
