* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues. * WHERE...Northwestern Caldwell County in western North Carolina... * WHEN...Until 945 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 619 AM EDT, Rainfall of the 4-6 inches have fallen over the past 24 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 Yadkin River, Johns River, Mulberry Creek and Buffalo Creek. The Yadkin River near Patterson is out of its banks and may cause minor flooding shortly. - Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms may develop over the next few hours and the threat will persist through the early morning hours. 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, a Flash Flood Warning for Caldwell County may be needed. 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, Grandfather Mountain State Park, B.R. Parkway-Linville Falls To Grandfather, Patterson, Upton, Globe and Collettsville. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood 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.
