* WHEN...Until 1045 PM EDT.
* IMPACTS...Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to streams
and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks,
greenways, boat-access areas, golf courses, underpasses, and
parking lots. Isolated, shallow flows over roadways is possible.
A few flood-prone, low-water crossings may remain impassible. A
small culvert washout or two may have occurred.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 804 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicates earlier torrential
rainfall has ended. No additional heavy rainfall is expected
this evening. However, storm-total rainfall of 1.5-2.5 inches
occurred in less than 60 minutes over resulting in excessive
runoff that overwhelmed drainage ditches and likely caused
nuisance flooding of low-lying, poorly draining areas including
along roadways and intersections. However, this flooding has
likely receded and conditions are likely returning to normal,
therefore, this Flood Advisory will be cancelled at 8:30pm.
- Some locations that may have experienced nuisance flooding
include... Matthews, Indian Trail, Weddington, Stallings, Wesley
Chapel, and Hemby Bridge
