Next 3 days: unusually heavy rain is not signalled for the divisions on this road. (2 Oct, 05:30 to 5 Oct, 05:30)
"Not signalled" never means dry or safe. This is a computer model, not a warning, and it never changes NBRO's levels. Like the satellite, it reads hill-country rain low and can miss heavy local downpours.
