Description:
At 124 PM CDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain associated with
thunderstorms had ended. However, a swath of 2 to 3.5 inches
occurred across portions of northeast Ripley, northwest Butler, and
southeast Carter counties, so water may be slow to recede in some
areas. Flash flooding remains a threat.
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
drainage and low-lying areas.
Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
Poplar Bluff, Doniphan, Budapest, Milltown, Grandin and Briar.
Instruction:
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.
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.
