Rainfall Expected to Bring Large Accumulations to Area

Lyon and Most Surrounding Counties in Flood Watch Through Monday

National Weather Service Issues Warning for Potential Flooding

Heavy rainfall is expected to hit the listening area on Saturday, potentially leading to large accumulations of water and flooding. The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Lyon and most surrounding counties, which will remain in effect through Monday.

Residents are urged to be prepared for potential flooding and to take necessary precautions. This may include moving valuables to higher ground, securing loose objects, and being aware of potential evacuation routes.

The rainfall is expected to begin on Saturday morning and continue through the day. The heaviest rainfall is expected to occur in the afternoon and evening hours. The National Weather Service predicts that some areas could receive up to 6 inches of rain.

The rain is expected to cause significant flooding in low-lying areas. Residents should be prepared for road closures and detours. They should also avoid driving through flooded areas, as even a few inches of water can cause a vehicle to stall.

The flood watch is expected to remain in effect through Monday. However, the National Weather Service says that the heaviest rainfall is expected to occur on Saturday. Residents should continue to monitor the weather forecast and be prepared to take action if necessary.
