* 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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 808 PM EDT, Light to moderate showers are moving from south to
north across the county, with heavier showers approaching from
the south. Rainfall of 2 to 4 inches have fallen over the past 12
hours. The rainfall has accumulated steadily, allowing soils to
slowly saturate and runoff to slowly increase.
Out of bank conditions will develop by area streams such as
Little River, Davidson River, and Forks of the Upper French Broad
River.
Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to
develop over the next few hours and the threat will persist
through the early morning hours on Sunday. These showers and
storms will be very efficient at producing heavy rainfall. Soils
are saturated and streams are swollen. Therefore, additional
heavy rain may quickly create new areas of flooding and cause
previous areas of flooding to redevelop. As a result, Flash
Flood Warnings may be issued tonight. Caution is advised near any
stream or other vulnerable area. Seek higher ground immediately
if heavy rain develops. Please have a plan in place should flash
flooding develop and do not hesitate to act. Please heed all
evacuation orders from Emergency Management officials.
- Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected over
the area. This additional rain will result in minor flooding.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Brevard, Rosman, Looking Glass, B.R. Parkway-Black Balsam To
Mount Pisgah, Gorges State Park, Lake Toxaway, Dupont State
Forest, Caesars Head State Park, Mount Pisgah and Lake Jocassee.
