.While rivers are continuing to recede, rainfall expected
through the weekend will slow down some of these recessions
and depending on where the rain falls, could lead to another round
of smaller rises on the rivers, helping to prolong the flooding
longer than currently forecast.

Motorists should not attempt to drive around barricades or drive
cars through flooded areas.

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