...FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 2 AM AST THURSDAY...
...REPLACES FLASH FLOOD WARNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Naguabo.

* WHEN...Until 200 AM AST.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
  and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Various roads
  remain closed due to flooding.  Low-water crossings are inundated
  with water and may not be passable. Expect many areas of slow
  moving or standing water. It will take several hours for all the
  water from these storms to work through local drainage systems in
  urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 914 PM AST, USGS sensors indicated that Rio Blanco remains
    above flood stage (7.3 feet), now at 7.82 feet, due to
    excessive runoff from today`s heavy rains. Up to 4.5 inches
    of rain have fallen. Emergency managers indicated that flood
    waters from Rio Blanco continue to affect portions of roads
    PR-31 and PR-191, which remain impassable. For this reason,
    the Flash Flood Warning was replaced by a Flood Warning.
  - Light to moderate rains may affect the area later this
    evening, possibly generating additional rainfall amounts of
    up to 0.5 inches in the warned area.
  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...
    Naguabo and Rio Blanco.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.

Stay away or be swept away. River banks and culverts can become
unstable and unsafe.

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.
