The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a
* Flash Flood Warning for...
Spartanburg County in upstate South Carolina...
* Until 430 AM EDT.
* At 1050 PM EDT, Earlier today, a prolonged period of steady
rainfall produced 2.5-4 inches across Spartanburg County,
saturating area soils and causing isolated areas of nuisance
flooding. Doppler radar shows an axis of torrential rainfall has
moved into Spartanburg County from the south, capable of producing
1-2 inches of rainfall on top of saturated soils. This rainfall
will exacerbate areas of ongoing nuisance flooding and cause new
areas of flooding to develop. The heaviest rainfall is currently
impacting Cross Anchor, Enoree, and Pauiine.
* Areas of greatest concern include along Lawsons Fork Creek and
Meadow Creek near Inman; the South Pacolet River, Motlow Creek, and
Holston Creek near Campobello; Bear Creek and Obed Creek north of
Lake Bowen; and areas near Croft State Park. Earlier, Glendale

near Church St. Flood conditions there are likely to worsen.
Please obey all barricades and avoid flooded roadways. Only a few
