Flood advisory issued for Josephine County until evening

The National Weather Service has issued a flood advisory for Josephine County, effective until 8:45 p.m. today. The advisory warns of potential urban and small stream flooding due to heavy rainfall. Residents are advised to be cautious of minor flooding in low-lying areas and elevated river flows.

A flood watch, on the other hand, signals favorable conditions for flooding but does not guarantee it will occur.
