TIMING
- This evening into tonight: There is an increasing chance of showers, especially later in the evening and overnight.
- Late night to predawn hours: We may see a few scattered thunderstorms in the vicinity of the Territory
- Friday: Expect on and off showers for at least the first half of the day.
POTENTIAL IMPACTS:
With the incoming rain it could cause:
• Rapid runoff on hillsides, increasing risk of minor landslides or loose rocks on roads.
• Localized ponding (minor flooding) in valleys, and poorly drained urban areas.
• Reduced visibility during heavy showers and slippery roads.
TIPS TO KEEP IN MIND:
- Avoid flood-prone areas – Don’t attempt to walk or drive through flooded roads.
- Clear drains and gutters – Especially important in low-lying areas to prevent water buildup.
- Be alert when traveling through hilly areas – Watch for fallen rocks or mud on the road.
Stay dry! Keep safe!
