* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 734 PM EDT, Light to moderate showers are moving from south to
north across the upper Broad/Rocky Broad River watershed,
including over Lake Lure. Storm-total rainfall of the 3-4 inches
have fallen over the past 12 hours. The rainfall has accumulated
steadily, allowing soils to slowly saturate and runoff to slowly
increase, resulting in steady rises in the small streams feeding
the Broad/Rocky Broad River. However, streams are approaching
bankfull conditions, and the streamgauge on the Rocky Broad River
near Bat Cave has just exceeded the Action/Advisory Stage of 6
feet. High flows along the Rocky Broad River into Chimney Rock
will result in water approaching US 64/74 (Main St) near Dogwood
RV Park. Isolated out-of-bank conditions are likely to develop
over the next 1-2 hours.
- 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.
- Some locations that may experience flooding include...
Town of Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Village, and Bat Cave.
