* UNTIL 515 PM CST TUESDAY
* AT 912 AM CST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADARS SHOW A LARGE AREA OF
RAIN AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS CONTINUE TO MOVE NORTHEAST ACROSS
THE AREA. MOST OF THIS AREA HAS RECEIVED 4 TO 6 INCHES OF RAIN SINCE
THE WEEKEND WITH POCKETS UP TO 10 INCHES AND MORE. ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL TODAY IS EXPECTED TO RANGE FROM 1 TO 3 INCHES WITH A FEW
LOCATIONS OF 4 INCHES OR MORE.
THIS RAINFALL WILL RESULT IN THE CONTINUED RISE OF AREA CREEKS AND
STREAMS...AND NOT ALLOW WATER TO EFFICIENTLY RECEDE. THIS WILL
RESULT IN THE CONTINUATION OF WATER ON NUMEROUS ROADWAYS ALONG WITH
THE CLOSURE OF MANY OF THESE.
FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS WILL LIKELY BE REQUIRED IN AREAS WHERE HEAVY
RAIN IS CONCENTRATED.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.
DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
