...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 230 AM MDT EARLY THIS
MORNING FOR CENTRAL QUAY, SOUTH CENTRAL HARDING AND EAST CENTRAL SAN
MIGUEL COUNTIES...

At 1204 AM MDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing
heavy rain across the warned area. Between 2 and 4 inches of rain
have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts up to 0.5 inches are
possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected
to begin shortly.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

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...
  Logan and Ute Lake State Park.

Elevated flows are likely through Atarque Creek and Carros Creek,
which could impact low water crossings.

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.

Arroyos, streams, and normally dry rivers can become raging killer
currents in a matter of minutes. Water in arroyos can travel many
miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.
