* UNTIL 1130 PM CST

* AT 533 PM CST RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES IN THE
  ADVISORY AREA HAVE CAUSED SOME OF THE ICE AND SNOW TO MELT. THIS
  RUNOFF IS PONDING IN LOW LYING AREAS...AND ON ROADS WHERE A SLUSHY
  MIXTURE REMAINS.

RAINFALL WILL SLOWLY TAPER OFF THIS EVENING...SO CONTINUE TO MONITOR
CREEKS AND STREAMS AS ICE AND SNOW CONTINUE TO MELT. SOME ROADS HAVE
BECOME COVERED WITH WATER DUE TO THE POOR DRAINING CONDITIONS...SO
BE ALERT WHEN TRAVELING THROUGH THIS EVENING.

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.
