* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.
* WHERE...Spartanburg County in upstate South 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
small culvert washout or two is possible.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 803 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated a thunderstorm producing
torrential rainfall is quickly moving from south to north across
the county. This torrential rainfall is occurring on top of
saturated soils due to a prolonged period of light to moderate
showers that have occurred over the county since this morning.
Widespread, storm-total rainfall of the 2.5-3.5 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.
However, this brief period of torrential rainfall is causing more
rapid rises to develop, including along Lawsons Fork Creek from
Inman to Spartanburg, the South Pacolet River near Campobello,
the North Tyger River near Wellford and Lyman, and small
tributaries to these rivers including Jordan Creek, Motlow Creek,
and Meadow Creek. Isolated out-of-bank conditions are likely to
develop over the next 1-3 hours.
Glendale Fire Department is reporting nuisance flooding along
Country Club Rd near Church St. Please obey all barricades and
avoid flooded roadways. Only a few inches of water can strand
your vehicle.
- Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms may 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...
Spartanburg, Greer, Boiling Springs SC, Woodruff, Duncan, Lyman,
Pacolet, Landrum, Cowpens and Wellford.
