THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE IN SAN JUAN HAS EXTENDED THE

* URBAN AND SMALL STREAM FLOOD ADVISORY
FOR THE FOLLOWING MUNICIPALITIES...

IN PUERTO RICO
BAYAMON...TOA ALTA...TRUJILLO ALTO...GUAYNABO...CATANO...SAN
JUAN AND TOA BAJA

* UNTIL 630 PM AST

* AT 324 PM AST...THE DOPPLER WEATHER RADAR INDICATED SHOWERS AND
ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS WITH AREAS OF VERY HEAVY RAIN MOVING ACROSS
THE ADVISORY AREA. RAINFALL ESTIMATES SO FAR HAVE BEEN BETWEEN HALF
TO ONE INCH IN SOME AREAS. ADDITIONAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO
INCHES WILL REMAIN POSSIBLE IN THE ADVISORY AREA. THIS ADDITIONAL
RAINFALL WILL LEAD TO FLOODING OF SMALL CREAKS AND STREAMS.
MUDSLIDES WILL BE POSSIBLE IN STEEP TERRAIN.

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.

DO NOT DRIVE YOUR VEHICLE INTO AREAS WHERE THE WATER COVERS THE
ROADWAY. THE WATER DEPTH MAY BE TOO GREAT TO ALLOW YOUR CAR TO CROSS
SAFELY. MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.
