passed since the rains have ended, flooding in some areas remains
likely. New rainfall will only serve to redevelop flooding across
the region this evening as grounds are saturated and water levels
elevated.

If a Flash Flood Warning is issued for your area this evening,
move to higher ground and seek shelter immediately. Do NOT drive
across a water covered road, period.

Instruction: Turn around, don’t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or
creeks.

Please report flooding to your local law enforcement agency when you
can do so safely.

A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring. All
interested parties should take necessary precautions immediately.
