* ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN IS POSSIBLE THIS MORNING ALONG A COLD FRONT LIFTING EAST NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH THE REGION. THE POTENTIAL FOR FLASH FLOODING STILL EXISTS THIS MORNING DUE TO THE FACT THAT MUCH OF THE AREA HAS RECEIVED 1 TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. SOILS ARE SATURATED...AND ANY ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAIN IN A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME WILL LIKELY BECOME RUNOFF...AND CONTRIBUTE TO THE FLOODING POTENTIAL.
* IF YOU LIVE NEAR A RIVER...STREAM OR IN A LOW LYING AREA...BE SURE TO MONITOR FOR POSSIBLE FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS AND BE READY TO HEAD TO COVER IN THE EVENT FLOODING OCCURS. THIS COULD BE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WHERE WATER RISES VERY QUICKLY.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A FLASH FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT CONDITIONS MAY DEVELOP THAT LEAD TO FLASH FLOODING. FLASH FLOODING IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.
YOU SHOULD MONITOR LATER FORECASTS AND BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION SHOULD FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS BE ISSUED.

...THE URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 230 PM CDT MONDAY FOR SOUTHERN AITKIN...SOUTHERN CASS AND CROW WING COUNTIES...
RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAIN THAT HAS FALLEN OVER THE PAST COUPLE DAYS WILL CONTINUE TO WORK IT'S WAY INTO AREA STREAMS AND RIVERS. RAINFALL OF 2 TO 4 INCHES...WITH SOME LOCALIZED HIGHER AMOUNTS...HAS FALLEN OVER THE PAST FEW DAYS OVER SOUTHERN CASS...MUCH OF CROW WING AND PORTIONS OF AITKIN COUNTIES. SOME ADDITIONAL LIGHT RAIN IS STILL POSSIBLE THROUGH THE DAY TODAY.
THE GROUND IS SATURATED FROM THE RECENT RAINFALL. A PROLONGED PERIOD OF FLOODING OR HIGH RIVER AND STREAM LEVELS ACROSS THE ADVISORY AREA IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE. PLEASE REPORT ANY FLOODING...ROAD CLOSURES...OR ROAD WASHOUTS TO LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AND THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE.
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.
TO REPORT FLOODING...HAVE THE NEAREST LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCY RELAY YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE.
