Heavy rains Monday are creating ponding on many local roads.

If you start to hydroplane, slow down by easing off the gas. Don’t slam on the brakes or make any sudden movements.

Good tire tread reduces your chances of hydroplaning, and maintaining a safe following distance will help you react to hazards ahead.

A flood watch is in effect, with heavier rain expected later in the day. Flooding is possible due to excessive runoff into rivers, streams, and areas with poor drainage.

If you’re heading to work or taking the kids to school this morning, give yourself plenty of extra time.
