* WHEN...Until 615 AM 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

culvert washout or two is possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 153 AM EDT, 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 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.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Lake Toxaway, Gorges State Park, B.R. Parkway-Black Balsam To
Mount Pisgah, Balsam Grove and Sapphire.
