Alexandria could face a rainy Christmas Eve, giving locals yet another reason to stay at home for the holidays.
Transportation and Environmental Services warned locals on Twitter to take the time to ensure downspouts flow away from homes and water can flow into drainage areas. The city has already faced several floods this year, and T&ES warned melting snow could create another.
According to the National Weather Service:
…FLASH FLOOD WATCH NOW IN EFFECT FROM THURSDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE THURSDAY NIGHT…
* ONE AND HALF TO TWO AND HALF INCHES OF RAIN ARE EXPECTED THURSDAY AFTERNOON AND THURSDAY NIGHT. THIS IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN FLASH FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS AND CREEKS AND POSSIBLE RIVER FLOODING.
A Flash Flood Watch has been issued due to heavy rains expected starting Thurs. (tmr). The City is checking drainage areas.
Today, ensure downspouts flow away from your home and that water can flow in any drainage area. Stay weather aware & report issues: https://t.co/Wbj5WSsowA https://t.co/zS3ClkU1nJ
