* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues. * WHERE...Southwestern Transylvania County in western North Carolina... * 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 few flood-prone, low-water crossings may become impassible. A small 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. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood Only when it is safe to do so, please report flooding or landslides threatening roads or property to the National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg by calling 1...800...2 6 7...8 1 0 1, by posting on our Facebook page, or by posting on X using hashtag NWSGSP.
