THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SAN JUAN HAS ISSUED A

* FLOOD WARNING FOR...
ARECIBO MUNICIPALITY IN PUERTO RICO...
UTUADO MUNICIPALITY IN PUERTO RICO...

* UNTIL 630 PM AST

* AT 226 PM AST...ALTHOUGH THE RIO GRANDE DE ARECIBO CONTINUES TO
SUBSIDE VERY SLOWLY...MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN WAS FALLING IN THE
HEADWATERS OF THE RIVER...WHICH WILL SLOW THE RECESSION AND MAY EVEN
CAUSE ADDITIONAL RISES THROUGHOUT THE LATE AFTERNOON INTO THE EARLY
EVENING. THEREFORE...THE FLOOD WARNING HAS BEEN EXTENDED UNTIL 630
PM AST. THE SMALLER RIVERS AND TRIBUTARIES WILL SHOW A RESPONSE TO
THIS RAINFALL.

A FLOOD WARNING MEANS THAT FLOODING IS IMMINENT OR HAS BEEN REPORTED.
STREAM RISES WILL BE SLOW AND FLASH FLOODING IS NOT EXPECTED.
HOWEVER...ALL INTERESTED PARTIES SHOULD TAKE NECESSARY PRECAUTIONS
IMMEDIATELY.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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.

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.
