...FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 6 AM AST FRIDAY...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by flood waters from Rio Grande de Manati
  will continue.

* WHERE...Barceloneta and Manati.

* WHEN...Until 600 AM AST Friday.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
  and flood-prone locations is imminent or occurring. Streams
  continue to rise due to excess runoff from earlier rainfall.
  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 1133 PM AST, river gauge along Rio Grande de Manati at
    Hormigueros remains above minor flood stage (16 feet), around
    19.23 feet. Flood waters are still affecting portions of road
    PR-2 between Manati and Barceloneta. Emergency managers have
    closed a portion of this road between KM 51 and 52. For that
    reason, the Flood Warning has been extended.
  - This includes the following streams and drainages...
    Rio Cibuco_Coastal Watershed, Rio Grande de Manati and
    Coastal Watershed.
    Flooding impacts will continue, but no additional rainfall is
    expected.

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.

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.
