Flash Flood Statement 10:01:20.3571920

...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING THAT WAS IN EFFECT FOR LAKE AND MCHENRY
COUNTIES WILL BE ALLOWED TO EXPIRE AT 1000 AM CDT...

EXCESS RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAIN HAS ENDED OVER THE WARNED AREA. IT HAS
BEEN REPORTED THROUGH EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT THAT STREAMS AND CREEKS
IN THE WARNED AREA HAVE RECEDED...ENDING MUCH OF THE FLOOD THREAT. A
HANDFUL OF ROADS MAY STILL HAVE WATER OVER THEM...ESPECIALLY IN
LOW-LYING AREAS. IF ENCOUNTERING FLOODED ROADWAYS...DO NOT DRIVE
THROUGH. SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED THIS AFTERNOON AND
SOME OF THEM MAY PRODUCE HEAVY RAINFALL...HOWEVER THEY SHOULD BE
MOVING AT A QUICK ENOUGH RATE OF SPEED TO NOT PRESENT A WIDESPREAD
FLOOD THREAT AGAIN.

IF FLOODING HAS BEEN OBSERVED...PLEASE REPORT IT TO YOUR LOCAL LAW
ENFORCEMENT AGENCY.
