NOTTINGHAM, MD—The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for the Nottingham area.

The watch will remain in effect through Thursday evening.

Numerous slow-moving showers and thunderstorms continue to develop across the region and should expand and redevelop with time.

Locations which are repetitively affected could receive multiple-inch rainfall totals. This could lead to rapid rises on streams and flash flooding of low lying areas.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

Residents should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
