* WHERE...Henderson County in western North Carolina...
Western Polk County in western North Carolina...
* WHEN...Until 800 AM EDT Sunday.
* 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

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 758 PM EDT, At 734 PM EDT, Light to moderate showers are
moving from south to north across Henderson County, with heavier
showers approaching from the south. 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 area
streams including Clear Creek, Bat Fork Creek, Mills River, and
Mud Creek.
Streams are approaching bankfull conditions, and the streamgauge
on Mud Creek below N Main St in Henderson County has just
exceeded the Action/Advisory Stage of 11.5 feet. At this level,
common, nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to Mud
Creek is beginning. The lowest elevations of William H King
Memorial Park are beginning to flood and floodwaters are
approaching the lowest elevations of the Oklawaha Greenway. At
this stage, more expansive lowland flooding with nuisance impacts
to adjacent farmland, golf courses, and nurseries is ongoing
closer to Erkwood Dr.
- 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 nusiance floodinginclude...
Hendersonville, Mills River, Fletcher, Flat Rock, Etowah,
Mountain Home, Laurel Park, and Saluda.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
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.
