A Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or has been reported.
Stream rises will be slow and flash flooding is not expected.
However...all interested parties should take necessary precautions
immediately.

Excessive runoff from the earlier rainfall will cause flooding of
flood-prone and low lying areas. Move immediately from these areas
to higher ground.
