* Until 530 PM MDT.
* At 334 PM MDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to thunderstorms. This will cause arroyo and small stream flooding in the advisory area. Up to one inch of rain has already fallen.

Turn around, don`t drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles.

Water in arroyos may travel many miles and take hours to reach your location from upstream rain areas.
