...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 900 AM CDT SATURDAY FOR
GRUNDY...COFFEE...CLAY...PICKETT...FENTRESS...OVERTON...JACKSON...VAN
BUREN...PUTNAM...CUMBERLAND...WHITE AND WARREN COUNTIES...

AT 505 PM CDT...LIGHT RAIN SHOWERS WERE MOVING THROUGH THE ADVISORY
AREA...AND ADDITIONAL RAIN MAY FALL THIS EVENING AND INTO TONIGHT AS
A FRONT SLOWLY PUSHES THROUGH MIDDLE TENNESSEE. RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF
A HALF INCH MAY BE POSSIBLE...WHICH WOULD CONTINUE TO CREATE SOME
MINOR FLOODING PROBLEMS. MOST LOCATIONS IN THE ADVISORY AREA HAVE
RECEIVED 1 TO LOCALLY 3 INCHES OF TOTAL RAINFALL SO FAR WITH THIS
SYSTEM...AND SOME PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS...AND SWOLLEN
CREEKS AND STREAMS HAS BEEN REPORTED.

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.

A FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
