...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 200 PM CDT FOR
NORTHEASTERN HEMPSTEAD...HOWARD AND CENTRAL NEVADA COUNTIES...

At 127 PM CDT, emergency management and law enforcement reported that
flash flooding continues across much of the warned area. Widespread
rainfall amounts of five to in excess of ten inches has fallen across
all of the warned area since early this morning. However, the flood
waters have begun to slowly recede early this afternoon, although water
continues to slowly rise along Highway 371 between Nashville and Prescott.
Additional areas of light to moderate rains will continue to affect
Northern Nevada County through 2 pm, which may slow the flood recession.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Nashville, Prescott, Mineral Springs, Dierks, Umpire, Emmet, Blevins,
Tollette, Bluff City, Corinth, Athens, Center Point, White Oak Lake
State Park, McCaskill, Ozan, Cale, Boughton, Muddy Fork, Burg and
Morris.

Additional rainfall amounts of up to a half inch will be possible in
the warned area through 2 pm.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded
roads. Find an alternate route.

A Flash Flood Warning means that flooding is imminent or occurring.
If you are in the warned area move to higher ground immediately.
Residents living along streams and creeks should take immediate
precautions to protect life and property.
