THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  NORTHERN FENTRESS COUNTY IN TENNESSEE...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF JAMESTOWN...

* UNTIL 830 PM CDT

* AT 523 PM CDT...RADAR INDICATED THAT A SLOW MOVING COMPLEX OF
THUNDERSTORMS WAS CONTINUING ACROSS NORTHERN FENTRESS COUNTY. AROUND
2 INCHES OF RAINFALL HAS ALREADY OCCURRED JUST NORTHWEST OF
JAMESTOWN. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL TOTALS OF UP TO AN INCH CAN BE
EXPECTED. THIS WILL CAUSE MINOR FLOODING OF LOW LYING CREEKS AND
STREAMS AS WELL AS OTHER FLOOD PRONE AREAS.

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.
