...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 215 AM EDT SUNDAY...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Transylvania County in western North Carolina...

* WHEN...Until 215 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 808 PM EDT, Light to moderate showers are moving from south to

    north across the county, with heavier showers approaching from

    the south. 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 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.

  - Additional rainfall amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected over

    the area. This additional rain will result in minor flooding.

  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...

    Brevard, Rosman, Looking Glass, B.R. Parkway-Black Balsam To

    Mount Pisgah, Gorges State Park, Lake Toxaway, Dupont State

    Forest, Caesars Head State Park, Mount Pisgah and Lake Jocassee.
