THUNDERSTORMS WAS CONTINUING ACROSS NORTHERN FENTRESS COUNTY. AROUND
2 INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS ALREADY OCCURRED JUST NORTHWEST OF

ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.

OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
