A flood watch has been issued for the region by the National Weather Service.
The watch is effect through Sunday afternoon.
The forecast calls for an inch of rain over the next 48 hours. The rain combined with snow melt has increased the chance of water levels in creeks and streams rising to bank levels.
The weather service encourages residents to monitor media outlets for any changes in flood conditions, including possibly raising the alert level to "warning."
People in areas prone to flooding should prepare to take appropriate actions.
