A Flash Flood Alert has been issued by the National Weather Service! Prepare for flash flooding by avoiding travel until conditions have improved. Do not drive through high water or flooded roadways! Click here for more on hazardous weather conditions: bit.ly/WXIIWeather
Caution: More showers and thunderstorms today potentially resulting in flooding issues and flash flooding. Rain bands could merge or be very slow moving, causing locally heavy rainfall.
Flooding of creeks, streams, and poor drainage areas may impact local roadways, causing closures or even washouts. A Flash Flood Watch continues for the western half of the state through this evening. In addition to flash flooding, this rainfall will enhance the potential for mountain mudslides, as well. This Watch may be extended eastward towards the Sandhills later today. Additionally, local Flood Warnings and Advisories remain in effect.
A cold front will cross the region Monday, bringing another round of widespread showers and storms that could result in more localized flooding into Monday night.
Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Do not attempt to cross water-covered roadways, bridges, or low-level crossings. Only a few inches of rapidly flowing water can carry away a vehicle.
A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING has been issued by the National Weather Service. Seek Shelter if you are in the warned area. Click here for more: bit.ly/WXIIWeather
