(Danville, Va.) — More heavy rain is headed our way and the National Weather Service has issued a Flood Watch for our region starting at 7:00 pm Thursday and extending through 7:00 Saturday morning.

Pockets of light rain may start as early as Thursday evening, with widespread rain overnight and into the morning hours on Friday. The heaviest downpours are expected Friday afternoon, with one-to-two inches possible. There could be heavier amounts in some areas and that could cause flooding of rivers, creeks and streams.

The National Weather Service cautions that with the ground already saturated, the rain will increase the flood risk across Southside Virginia.
