AT 1025 PM MDT...HEAVY RAINFALL HAS ENDED IN GREELEY COUNTY AND

EARLIER IN AND NEAR TRIBUNE AND UP TO 3 INCHES OF RAINFALL WAS 
INDICATED TO HAVE BEEN WIDESPREAD ACROSS THE COUNTY. COMMUNICATIONS 
HAVE BEEN POOR TO NIL WITH THE COUNTY OVER THE LAST FEW HOURS SO 
FURTHER INFORMATION HAS NOT BEEN AVAILABLE. SINCE THE POTENTIAL OF 
ONGOING FLOODING STILL EXISTS...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING WILL 
CONTINUE UNTIL 1100 PM MDT.

EXCESSIVE RUNOFF FROM HEAVY RAINFALL WILL CAUSE FLOODING OF SMALL
CREEKS AND STREAMS...HIGHWAYS AND UNDERPASSES. ADDITIONALLY...COUNTRY
ROADS AND FARMLANDS ALONG THE BANKS OF CREEKS...STREAMS AND OTHER LOW
LYING AREAS ARE SUBJECT TO FLOODING.

BE ESPECIALLY CAUTIOUS AT NIGHT WHEN IT IS HARDER TO RECOGNIZE THE
DANGERS OF FLOODING. IF FLASH FLOODING IS OBSERVED ACT QUICKLY. MOVE
UP TO HIGHER GROUND TO ESCAPE FLOOD WATERS. DO NOT STAY IN AREAS
SUBJECT TO FLOODING WHEN WATER BEGINS RISING.

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. VEHICLES CAUGHT IN RISING WATER SHOULD BE ABANDONED QUICKLY.
MOVE TO HIGHER GROUND.

YOUR REPORT TO THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE FORECAST OFFICE IN
