...THE FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 715 PM CDT FOR EAST
CENTRAL HUMPHREYS...SOUTHWESTERN DICKSON AND NORTHWESTERN HICKMAN
COUNTIES...

AT 559 PM CDT...NWS DOPPLER RADAR SHOWED THAT MOST OF THE HEAVY
RAINFALL THAT HAD CAUSED THE INTIAL ISSUANCE OF THIS FLOOD ADVISORY
HAD MOVED SOUTHEAST OF THE ADVISORY AREA. HOWEVER...RUNOFF FROM
PREVIOUS HEAVY RAINFALL ACROSS THIS AREA EARLY THIS LATE AFTERNOON
MAY STILL LEAD TO RISES ON AREA CREEKS AND STREAMS INTO THE EVENING
HOURS. SOME OF THESE STREAMS INCLUDE...HURRICANE CREEK...PINEY
RIVER...TUMBLING CREEK...AND SUGAR CREEK. ALSO...THERE COULD
BE SOME CONTINUATION OF MINOR FLOODING IN ADDITIONAL LOW LYING...
POORLY DRAINED...AREAS.

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 FLOOD ADVISORY MEANS RIVER OR STREAM FLOWS ARE ELEVATED OR PONDING
OF WATER IN URBAN OR OTHER AREAS IS OCCURRING OR IS IMMINENT.
