This heavy rainfall will result in significant ponding of water on
area roads and in low spots. Slow down to reduce the risk of
hydroplaning. If water covers the entire roadway or is flowing...find
another route. The water is probably much deeper than it appears and
only one foot of water can stall a vehicle. When encountering flooded
roads make the smart choice...turn around...dont drown.

Radar estimates of 1 to 2 inches of rain has fallen since this
morning...and an additional 1 to 2 inches will occur.
