  and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks, greenways,

  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 516 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated torrential rain due to
    training thunderstorms.  Automated rain gauges confirm these
    storms have been capable of producing 1-2 inches in less than
    an hour.  Nuisance flooding impacting flood-prone areas may
    be imminent within the Advisory area. Between 1 and 2 inches
    of rain have fallen.

    Areas most likely to experience flooding include just south
    of Pickens near Wolf Creek and SC 8, Rices Creek near Pickens
    Country Club and US 178, Praters Creek near Amberwood Rd, as
    well as near Dacusville including along Machine Creek near
    Hester Store Rd and Doddies Creek near SC 185 and SC 355.

  - Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected
    over the area as thunderstorms train over the same areas
    including near Pickens, Easley, and Liberty.  This additional
    rain may exacerbate ongoing flooding or cause new areas of
    flooding to develop.  Stay alert for rapidly rising streams
    and flooded roadways.

  - Some locations that may experience flooding include...
    Easley, Pickens, West Greenville, Berea, Welcome, Liberty,
    Norris, Six Mile and Dacusville.
