...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 430 PM CDT FOR
BELL COUNTY...

At 254 PM CDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated 
thunderstorms producing heavy rain over the eastern part of Bell 
County. This rain is coming to an end as it moves out of the area. 
However, 2-3 inches of rain have fallen in the last 2 hours causing 
some creeks overflow their banks. This rainfall will lead to 
excessive water runoff and cause flash flooding. Low-lying areas are 
most vulnerable to rapidly rising water. Some low-water crossings 
may flood and become impassable.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Temple, Belton, Nolanville, Morgan's Point Resort, Bartlett, Salado,
Little River-Academy, Troy, Rogers and Holland.


PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

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.
