AT 1113 PM CDT...HEAVY RAIN WAS MOVING OUT OF THE ADVISORY
AREA...BUT MANY CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL REMAIN HIGH OVER THE NEXT
FEW HOURS.

IN THE NASHVILLE METRO AREA...LOOK FOR WATER LEVELS TO REMAIN HIGH
IN THE WHITES CREEK...BROWNS CREEK...RICHLAND CREEK...MANSKERS
CREEK...AND MILL CREEK BASINS. THESE CREEKS MAY APPROACH FLOOD
STAGE.

HIGH WATER MAY ALSO BE IMPACTING WESTERN WILLIAMSON COUNTY NEAR THE
LIEPERS FORK AREA...AND IN HUMPHREYS COUNTY IN THE CENTERVILLE AREA.

RUNOFF FROM THESE SMALLER CREEKS AND STREAMS WILL CAUSE FURTHER
RISES ON THE LARGER RIVERS...INCLUDING THE DUCK RIVER...HARPETH
RIVER...AND BUFFALO RIVER.

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.
