* AT 155 AM CST NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATED
ONLY PATCHES OF LIGHT RAIN...RAIN MIXED WITH LIGHT SNOW...OR LIGHT
SNOW OR JUST FLURRIES LIFTING NORTHWARD ACROSS MUCH OF ARKANSAS.
THIS ACTIVITY HAS BEEN TAPERING OFF TO LIGHT AMOUNTS OVERNIGHT.
EVEN THOUGH THE HEAVY RAINFALL AS ENDED...FOR THE MOST AREAS...
EXCESSIVE RUNOFF WILL CONTINUE THROUGH FRIDAY MORNING. THERE ARE
MANY PRIMARY AND SECONDARY ROADS STILL INUNDATED WITH HIGH WATER
ACROSS THE REGION. A NUMBER OF SMALLER CREEKS...STREAMS REMAIN AT
OR ABOVE BANKFULL IN MANY LOCATIONS. CAUSE MUST BE USED...
ESPECIALLY AT NIGHT...WHEN WATER COVERS THE ROAD. DO NOT CROSS
ROADWAYS THAT HAVE BARRICADES AND ARE COVERED WITH ROADS.
A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN
REPORTED. STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT
EXPECTED. HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY
PRECAUTIONS IMMEDIATELY.
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. UNTIL THE
WATER RECEDES...FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND
UNDERPASSES WILL BE POSSIBLE. COUNTRY ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE
BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO
FLOODING.
