...A FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 945 PM MST FOR
SOUTHERN APACHE COUNTY...

AT 840 PM MST...NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE DOPPLER RADAR INDICATES 
THAT THE STORMS THAT CAUSE THE FLOODING EARLIER THIS EVENING HAVE 
WEAKENED SIGNIFICANTLY...HOWEVER GIVEN THE WIDESPREAD 2 TO 4.5 
INCHES OF RAIN THAT HAVE FALLEN OVER THE WARNED AREA...FLOODING 
PROBLEMS WILL CONTINUE TO LINGER THROUGH 945 PM MST.

LOCATIONS IN THE WARNING INCLUDE BUT ARE NOT LIMITED TO THE WEST   
SIDE OF ST. JOHNS...LYMAN LAKE STATE PARK...HUNT AND CONCHO AND 
AREAS JUST TO THE WEST OF PETRIFIED FOREST NATIONAL PARK VISITORS 
CENTER. 

ANOTHER AREA OF SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS IS DEVELOPING TO THE 
NORTHEAST AND IS MOVING TOWARD THE WARNING AREA...HOWEVER THE RAIN 
FALL AMOUNTS AND INTENSITY FROM THESE THUNDERSTORMS IS MUCH LIGHTER 
...THEIR MAIN EFFECT MAY BE TO KEEP THE FLOODED AREAS FLOODED FOR A 
LITTLE LONGER DURATION. 

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM THE HEAVY RAINFALL THIS EVENING WILL CONTINUE 
TO CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL CREEKS AND STREAMS...COUNTRY ROADS...AS 
WELL AS LOW WATER CROSSING.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

MOST FLOOD DEATHS OCCUR IN AUTOMOBILES. NEVER DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO
AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE ROADWAY. FLOOD WATERS ARE USUALLY
DEEPER THAN THEY APPEAR. JUST ONE FOOT OF FLOWING WATER IS POWERFUL
ENOUGH TO SWEEP VEHICLES OFF THE ROAD. WHEN ENCOUNTERING FLOODED
ROADS MAKE THE SMART CHOICE...TURN AROUND...DONT DROWN.
