ROCKINGHAM COUNTY, VA (Rocktown Now) — The National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch from 7am on Sunday until 10pm.

Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.

Multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected on Sunday as an area of low-pressure tracks eastward and interacts with a frontal zone. A widespread 1 to 2 inches of rainfall appears likely, with localized totals up to around 5 inches possible. Saturated soils and background high streamflow levels may enhance the threat for flooding.
