...A FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 845 PM EDT FOR WESTERN

SUFFOLK AND NASSAU COUNTIES...



At 724 PM EDT, Doppler radar continued to indicate steady, moderate 

to locally heavy rain across the warned area. Up to two inches of 

rain have already fallen, and an additional inch is possible. Rain 

will finally taper off later this evening.



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.



Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding of small

creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as

well as other drainage areas and low lying spots.
