The National Weather Service in Memphis, Tennessee, highlights the importance of understanding the difference between a Flood Watch and a Flood Warning.
A Flood Watch is issued when conditions suggest flooding is possible, prompting residents to stay alert and prepare. A Flood Warning, on the other hand, indicates that flooding is already occurring or imminent, requiring immediate action.
The agency advises the public to recognize these alerts and respond accordingly to protect themselves and their property during severe weather conditions.
Memphis officials emphasized the need for awareness, especially during storm season, to prevent damage and ensure safety.
The Weather Service encourages residents to stay informed through official updates and be prepared to act when necessary.
