Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
1116 PM EDT Sat Oct 10 2026
The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for...
Henderson County in western North Carolina...
Polk County in western North Carolina...
Eastern Transylvania County in western North Carolina...
* Until 515 AM EDT.
* At 1116 PM EDT, Earlier today, a prolonged period of steady
rainfall produced 3-6 inches across eastern Transylvania,
Henderson, and Polk counties, saturating area soils and causing
scattered areas of nuisance flooding. Doppler radar shows several
rounds of torrential rainfall has moved through the area from the
south, capable of producing 2-3 inches of rainfall on top of
saturated soils. This rainfall will exacerbate areas of ongoing
nuisance flooding and cause new areas of Minor flooding to develop.
* Areas of greatest concern include along the Little River from Cedar
Mountain to Penrose; the Davidson River near Pisgah Forest; the
French Broad River from Brevard to Mills River; Mud Creek from Crab
Creek to Hendersonville to Mountain Home; White Oak Creek from Mill
Spring to Green Creek; and Boylston Creek near Forge Mountain.
* Additional areas of Minor Flooding are expected to develop over the
next 1-3 hours. Please obey all barricades and heed all evacuation
orders from local Emergency Management officials. Only a few
inches of water can strand your vehicle and only 6 inches of water
can sweep your vehicle away.
HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.
SOURCE...Radar indicated.
IMPACT...Expect flash flooding of low-lying areas near streams,
including parks, trails, low-water crossings, boat- access
areas, and campgrounds. Significant flooding of
poor-drainage areas are likely, impacting travel.
Low-lying roadways are likely to be flooded, requiring
barricades. An isolated landslide or two cannot be ruled
out.
* Some locations that may experience flash flooding include...
Hendersonville, Brevard, Columbus, Mills River, Fletcher, Flat
Rock, Etowah, Mountain Home, Laurel Park and Tryon.
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.
The additional heavy rain will increase the risk of landslides and
debris flows, especially in areas where landslides have occurred in
the past. Be especially alert if you live near a stream, particularly
at the base of a mountain or in a cove. Watch for signs that a
landslide may be imminent, including loose-moving soil and rocks or a
sudden increase in streamflow. Stay indoors and do NOT go outside to
investigate. Escape vertically inside your home by moving upstairs or
getting on top of counters to avoid being swept away.
