A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions my develop that lead to Flash Flooding.  Flash Flooding is a very dangerous situation.  You should monitor later forecast and be prepared to take action should a flash  flood warning be issued.

Area of low pressure remains poorly defined with winds currently sustained  around 30 mph.  Overall forecast remains unchanged, although there is now a 60% chance of development into a Tropical Depression or even a low-end Tropical Storm in the next 48 hrs.  Regardless, heavy rainfall, especially near any intense thunderstorm flare-ups, could produce localized flooding, especially over the FL Big Bend into s-central GA Thursday into Friday morning.  Flash Flood Watches are in effect for those counties through Friday morning.
