...FLOOD ADVISORY NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 AM EDT THURSDAY...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...A portion of piedmont North Carolina, including the
  following counties, Cleveland, Gaston and Lincoln.

* WHEN...Until 100 AM EDT.

* IMPACTS...Nuisance to Minor flooding of low-lying areas adjacent
  to streams and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland,
  parks, greenways, boat-access areas, golf courses, underpasses,
  and parking lots.  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 1030 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges
    indicated heavy rain is ongoing due to multiple slow-moving
    thunderstorm cells extending west to east to northeast from
    Lawndale to Fallston, Cherryville, Lincolnton, and Boger
    City. Between 1 and 3 inches of rain has fallen. These cells
    are training from west to east over the same areas, prompting
    concerns for excessive runoff capable of producing areas of
    nuisance to Minor flooding.

    Areas of greatest concern include in the Lincolnton, Boger
    City, and Goodsonville areas, where rainfall accumulations of
    2 inches in 30-45 minutes will be enough to overwhelm low-
    lying areas, small drainages,  and storm drains, causing
    ponding of farmland, woodland, residential yards, golf
    courses, and a few roadways. Concern includes small streams
    near Huss St, Walker Branch near N Aspen St and N Flint St,
    Lithia Inn Branch near Jerry Crump Rd and Jonas Dr.  Clarks
    Creek near Clarks Creek Rd and Jeb Seagle Dr may also rise
    out of its banks. In Cleveland County, small streams near
    Fallston and Lawndale, including Grassy Branch near Hicks
    Hill Rd, Knob Creek near Brackett Rd, and Flag Branch near
    Union Church Rd may cause flooding.

  - An additional 0.50 to 1.0 inch of rain is possible over the
    next hour or two due to these very slow-moving cells. This
    rainfall may exacerbate developing flooding or cause new
    areas of flooding to develop. 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 will experience flooding include...
    Shelby, Lincolnton, Cherryville, Belwood, High Shoals,
    Lawndale, Fallston, Polkville, Waco, Kingstown, Boger City,
    Iron Station and Crouse.
