...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 230 AM EDT SUNDAY...
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.
* WHERE...Southeastern Avery County in western North Carolina...
Northwestern Burke County in western North Carolina...
Northwestern Caldwell County in western North Carolina...
* WHEN...Until 230 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 822 PM EDT, Light to moderate showers are moving from south to
north across the northern Blue Ridge escarpment and vicinity,
with heavier showers approaching from the south. Rainfall of the
2-4 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 the Linville River, Wilson Creek, Johns River,
Mulberry Creek and Warrior Fork Creek.
- 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 will experience flooding include...
Blowing Rock In Caldwell County, Crossnore, Sugar Mountain, Seven
Devils, Table Rock, B.R. Parkway-Linville Falls To Grandfather,
Grandfather Mountain State Park, Linville Falls, Lake James State
Park and B.R. Parkway-Little Switzerland To Linville.
