...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 1023 AM CDT...SHOWERS AND AN OCCASIONAL THUNDERSTORM MOVING
THROUGH THE AREA HAVE PRODUCED RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO LOCALLY
TWO INCHES IN THE ADVISORY AREA. THIS MAY LEAD TO SOME LOCALIZED
PONDING OF WATER IN POOR DRAINING AREAS...AND ELEVATED WATER LEVELS
IN SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS.

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.
