...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 11 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

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

* WHEN...Until 1100 PM 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 802 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 2.5 inches of rain has fallen over the
    past 45-75 minutes.  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 stormdrains, 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 1-2 inches of rain is possible over the next 60
    minutes due to these very slow-moving cells.  This rainfall
    may exacerbate developing flooding or cause new areas of
    flooding to develop.  If these cells persist for an
    additional 60 minutes or longer, 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 nuisance to Minor flooding
    include...
    Shelby, Lincolnton, Cherryville, Belwood, High Shoals,
    Lawndale, Fallston, Polkville, Waco, Kingstown, Boger City,
    Iron Station,  and Crouse.
