Highway 70 corridor linger as well, but will also diminish gradually 
overnight.  This warning will expire on schedule at 1 am.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
         highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor

         the likelihood of encountering flooded roads and
         elevated streams and creeks.
