FFWGSP The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has extended the * Flash Flood Warning for... Southeastern Avery County in western North Carolina... Northwestern Burke County in western North Carolina... West Central Caldwell County in western North Carolina... * Until 100 PM EDT Sunday. * At 629 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated a line of training cells producing torrential rainfall entering northwestern Burke and southeastern Avery counties. This rainfall will be capable of producing 1-2 inches in less than an hour over saturated soils. This rainfall may cause additional, significant rises on area streams, including the Linville River from Grandfather Mountain to Linville and Pineola; Wilson Creek near Edgemont; and Warrior Fork from Jonas Ridge to Table Rock, quickly exacerbating ongoing Minor flooding. Significant, Moderate flooding, potentially impacting some structures and causing significant travel disruptions, may develop quickly over the next 30-90 minutes. If you are near a creek or stream, seek higher ground now! HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing flash flooding. SOURCE...Radar indicated. IMPACT...Life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams. Expect significant flooding of adjacent low-lying areas, including parks, trails, low-water crossings, boat-access areas, and campgrounds. Flooding of some crawl spaces and basements is possible with potential flooding of first-floors in residences and businesses near streams. Evacuations may be needed. An isolated landslide or two cannot be ruled out. * Some locations that may experience significant flash flooding include... Crossnore, Table Rock, Linville Falls, Lake James State Park, Jonas Ridge and Edgemont. Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads. The additional heavy rain will increase the risk of landslides and debris flows, especially in areas where landslides have occurred in the past. Be especially alert if you live near a stream, particularly at the base of a mountain or in a cove. Watch for signs that a landslide may be imminent, including loose-moving soil and rocks or a sudden increase in streamflow. Stay indoors and do NOT go outside to investigate. Escape vertically inside your home by moving upstairs or getting on top of counters to avoid being swept away.
