Monitoring the Tropics: There is still a medium potential for tropical development in the Gulf this week, but the National Weather Service is forecasting 3" to 5" of rainfall through Sunday regardless. A Flood Watch has been issued from 1 p.m. Wednesday until 1 a.m. Saturday for our area.

 

With the possibility of several inches of rain coming this week, crews have been out taking proactive steps to prepare including clearing ditches and drainage outlets and other protective measures.

 

Residents can assist with their homes and prepare:

- Assist with clearing ditches and catch basins near your home of any branches or debris that could block the flow of water.

-Remind family and friends to never drive down a street with high water

-Have multiple ways to receive emergency alerts, even when asleep. Text SJPWEATHER to 888-777 for alerts to your phone. Stay informed to official channels.
