Line 1:
A '''Flash flood watch''' ([[Specific Area Message Encoding|SAME]] code: FFA; also referred as a "green box" by [[meteorologist]]s) is issued by the [[National Weather Service]] when conditions are favorable for [[flash flood]]ing in [[Floodplain|flood-prone areas]], usually when grounds are already saturated from recent rains, or when upcoming rains will have the potential to cause a flash flood. These watches are also occasionally issued when a [[dam]] may break in the near future.
 
Countries such as [[Australia]] also issue similarly worded warnings.<ref>{{cite web | url=http://www.bom.gov.au/water/floods/floodWarningServices.shtml | title=Flood Warning Services | publisher=[[Bureau of Meteorology]] | accessdate=19 June 2014}}</ref>
