...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS
EVENING FOR SOUTH CENTRAL GRANT AND NORTHEASTERN PENDLETON
COUNTIES...

At 809 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms had produced
heavy rain across the warned area. Between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of
rain have fallen. Heavy rain has ended, but runoff may continue to
result in flash flooding.

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...
Rough Run...                       Upper Tract...
Brushy Run...                      Landes...
Deer Run...                        Dorcas...

This includes the following Flood Prone Roads...
Highway 9 at North Mill Creek and US 220 along North Mill Creek.

While the heaviest rain fell in Pendleton County, high water
may flow northward along North Mill Creek and South Mill Creek into
Grant County.

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.

Please report observed flooding to local emergency services or law
enforcement and request they pass this information to the National
Weather Service when you can do so safely.
