4 a.m. — Flood Watch issued for Southside Hampton Roads, northeast North Carolina
The 13 News Now Weather Team has declared Saturday as a Weather Alert Day for potential flash flooding across Southside Hampton Roads and northeast North Carolina this afternoon and evening.
While we can officially say goodbye to Tropical Cyclone Debby, the excessive rainfall she brought the region on Thursday and Friday has left the ground saturated — and less able to absorb heavy rainfall expected later in the day Saturday.
That means localized or flash flooding is very possible.
Showers and thunderstorms are expected to start around 2 p.m. and last through 9 p.m. Heavy downpours are possible, particularly on the Southside, the Outer Banks and surrounding areas.
In light of this, the National Weather Service in Wakefield has issued a Flash Flood Watch from noon Saturday until midnight for the following areas.
Southeast Virginia: Chesapeake, Norfolk, Portsmouth, Suffolk and Virginia Beach.
Northeast North Carolina: Bertie, Camden, Chowan, Currituck, Gates, Hertford, Pasquotank and Perquimans counties in North Carolina.
The NWS says that area creeks and streams are already running high and could easily overflow their banks during times of excessive rainfall. Other low-lying and flood-prone areas are also at a higher risk.
