...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 645 PM EDT FOR
SOUTHWESTERN LUCE AND NORTHEASTERN SCHOOLCRAFT COUNTIES...

At 532 PM EDT, even though rain has stopped across the warned area 
additional rain falling upstream of the area may impact local river 
basins. Radar estimates show three to five inches have fallen across 
the warned area and with additional thunderstorm activity slowly 
drifting southeast towards the warned area, additional rainfall is 
possible over the next hour. Flash flooding is expected to begin 
shortly.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, country roads, farmland, and other low lying
spots.

Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where
you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become
killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or
creeks.
