AVERAGE RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF 1.25 TO 1.50 INCHES ARE EXPECTED TO

RECENT RAINS...THE GROUND ACROSS THE AREA IS CLOSE TO SATURATED AND 
SOME STREAMS ARE RUNNING HIGH. LOCALLY HIGHER RAINFALL AMOUNTS IN 
EXCESS OF 1.50 INCHES COULD CAUSE FLOODING ALONG STREAMS AND CREEKS 
IN THE INDICATED AREAS. URBAN FLOODING IS ALSO POSSIBLE IN POOR 
DRAINAGE AREAS. 

PEOPLE ALONG CREEKS AND STREAMS SHOULD MONITOR WATER LEVELS 
FREQUENTLY IF HEAVY RAIN OCCURS. CHECK PREPAREDNESS REQUIREMENTS. BE 
READY TO LEAVE IMMEDIATELY IF YOU ARE IN A FLOOD PRONE AREA AND 
FLOODING IS OBSERVED OR A WARNING IS ISSUED. HAVE ALTERNATIVE ESCAPE 
ROUTES PLANNED IN CASE WATER COVERS OR IS FLOWING ACROSS YOUR 
PRIMARY ESCAPE ROUTE.
