* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 1150 AM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated
heavy rain due to training heavy rain showers, which have
produced between 1 and 2 inches of rainfall over the past 45-60
minutes. Nuisance to minor flooding is expected to begin shortly
in the Advisory area. Areas of greatest concern include
flood-prone areas from Matthews to Indian Trail to Hemby Bridge,
especially within the Crooked Creek and Goose Creek watersheds.
- Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected over
the area. This additional rain may exacerbate flooding and may
cause more significant flooding to develop. If storm-total
rainfall amounts exceeds 3-4 inches over the next 1-2 hours, more
significant flooding may develop and a Flash Flood Warning may be
issued. Caution is advised near any stream or other vulnerable
area. Seek higher ground immediately if streams start to rise.
Please have a plan in place should flash flooding develop and do
not hesitate to act.
- Some locations that may experience flooding include...
Matthews, Mint Hill, Indian Trail, Weddington, Stallings,
Unionville, Wesley Chapel, Lake Park, Hemby Bridge, Fairview In
Union County and New Salem.
