FFWGSP

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has extended
the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
Southeastern Buncombe County in western North Carolina...
Northeastern Henderson County in western North Carolina...
Northwestern Rutherford County in western North Carolina...

* Until 715 AM EDT.

* At 411 AM EDT, The Rocky Broad River near Bat Cave crested at 9.1
feet near midnight and has steadily fallen to 7.8 feet and will
continue a gradual recession below the Minor Flood Stage of 7.5
feet over the next hour, with the localized shallow flooding
observed along US 64 (Main St) near Dogwood RV park receding
shortly thereafter.  However, Lake Lure Dam continues to release
water downstream along the Broad River, with nuisance to Minor
impacts to low-lying areas near US 64.  Lake Lure releases will
likely end soon with conditions downstream improving. In the
meantime, a final round of heavy rainfall is approaching the
Chimney Rock/Lake Lure area.  At this time, the heavy rainfall is
not expected to exacerbate ongoing flooding.  Therefore, once this
heavy rain passes and floodwaters recede, the Flash Flood Warning
will be cancelled.

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.
