The National Weather Service is calling for a Flood Watch in Chester County from Thursday morning through Friday afternoon.

Heavy rain is expected to begin late tonight through Thursday afternoon. There is potential for flooding on area creeks and streams and in poor drainage and urban areas during and shortly after the heavy rainfall. Some main stem rivers may flood thereafter, from Thursday night possibly through the weekend.

Rainfall totals of one to two inches with isolated three-inch amounts are expected. This will be the third rainfall event in the last week. The ground remains wet, and rivers and streams continue to run high. The rain will likely result in some roadway flooding, along with flooding in areas of poor drainage on Thursday.

A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on current forecasts.
