THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN NASHVILLE HAS ISSUED AN

* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY FOR...
  CENTRAL MONTGOMERY COUNTY IN MIDDLE TENNESSEE...
  THIS INCLUDES THE CITY OF CLARKSVILLE...

* UNTIL 900 PM CDT

* AT 704 PM CDT...HEAVY SHOWERS AND ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WILL PUSH
ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA BETWEEN NOW AND 800 PM CDT. SOME AREAS WILL
LIKELY RECEIVE RAINFALL RATES OF AROUND ONE INCH PER HOUR...WHICH
WILL LEAD TO RAPID RUNOFF AND PONDING OF WATER IN LOW LYING AREAS. IN
ADDITION...SOME AREA CREEKS AND STREAMS ARE RUNNING HIGH AND
ADDITIONAL HEAVY DOWNPOURS MAY RESULT IN LOCALIZED FLOODING.

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.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
