...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1215 PM CDT FOR

AT 1131 AM CDT...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR CONTINUED TO
INDICATE A THUNDERSTORM PRODUCING FLASH FLOODING OVER THE WARNED
AREA.

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO FAIRVIEW...
WHITE BLUFF...PEGRAM...KINGSTON SPRINGS...DICKSON AND BURNS.

RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAIN THIS MORNING CONTINUES TO CAUSE FLASH
FLOODING IN THE WARNED AREA. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN EXCESS OF 4
INCHES HAVE BEEN ESTIMATED BY NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE RADAR. RAPID
RISES OF CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL CONTINUE INTO EARLY THIS AFTERNOON.

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.

A FLASH FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR OCCURRING.
IF YOU ARE IN THE WARNING AREA MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND IMMEDIATELY.
RESIDENTS LIVING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS SHOULD TAKE IMMEDIATE
PRECAUTIONS TO PROTECT LIFE AND PROPERTY.
