A 9:09 a.m., law enforcement officials reported that flooding was
continuing on several rural roadways due to the earlier heavy rain.
Radar and surface reports indicated that 2 to 4 inches of rain fell
Tuesday evening, with totals as high as 5 inches around Monticello.
This was in areas that had already seen 2 to 3 inches Monday night
and Tuesday morning. Thunderstorms will be increasing again,
especially Wednesday afternoon and evening. Some of them will
produce locally heavy rainfall that may keep the flooding from
receding as fast as normal.
Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small
creeks and streams, highways, and underpasses. Additionally, country
roads and farmlands along the banks of creeks, streams and other
low-lying areas are subject to flooding.
Report any flooding to your local emergency manager or the
nearest law enforcement agency for relay to the National Weather
Service.
