The National Weather Service in Tiyan has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Saipan...
  Tinian...

* Until 300 PM ChST.

* At 1125 AM ChST, emergency management reported flash flooding 
  across the warned area. Between 2 and 4 inches of rain have 
  fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 0.5 to 1.5 inches are 
  possible in the warned area. Flash flooding is already occurring.

  HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by rain and poor drainage from
           previous rainfall.

  SOURCE...Emergency management reported.

  IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban
           areas, and streets as well as other poor drainage and
           low-lying areas.

* Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Garapan, Dandan, China Town, Tanapag, As Mahetog, Koblerville, San 
  Jose (Tinian Municipality), Chalan Kanoa I, San Antonio, Chalan 
  Kanoa II, Chalan Kanoa III, San Roque, Kagman, Chalan Kanoa IV, 
  Kagman III, Gualo Rai, Afetnas, Chalan Piao, Fananganan and Chalan 
  Laulau.

Rainfall looks to be decreasing in intensity, but saturated 
conditions will make it very slow for water to drain away from 
low-lying areas and certain roads and streets. Continue to practice 
caution when driving and avoid closed or flooded roads.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

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

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are 
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded 
roads. Find an alternate route.
