...A HEAVY THUNDERSTORM IMPACTING WESTERN TAYLOR COUNTY...

At 930 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a heavy thunderstorm
near Grafton. This thunderstorm was nearly stationary.

Torrential rainfall was occurring with this storm and may lead to
localized flooding. Even as the rain subsides, any high water that
develops may linger.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. It is especially hard to tell the depth of the water at
night.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which
are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel
across flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few
inches of swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.
