A flash flood watch is in effect for Saturday to Monday evening due to the potential for "rare and damaging impacts," the National Weather Service warned.
With that, several cities are providing both sand and bags or just bags for their residents to use. Residents are also urged to call ahead to double-check availability and some stations may have a limited supply.
County Emergency Services and Public Works road crews say people should stay alert and take precautions on the roads.
