...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT TUESDAY...

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

* WHERE...Union County, North Carolina

* WHEN...Until 800 AM EDT Tuesday.

* IMPACTS...Nuisance 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 807 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain and
    streamgauges indicate that Union County has seen between 2
    and 3 inches of rain over the past 4-6 hours as a result of
    the outer rainbands of a weak coastal low pressure system.
    Over the past two hours, these bands have been capable of
    producing rainfall rates of 1-1.5 inches per hour, enhancing
    areas of excessive runoff.  Area streams are responding to
    this runoff and several smaller streams may be approaching
    bankfull levels.  Expect several small streams to exceed
    bankfull and cause nuisance flooding of adjacent low-lying
    areas.

    Areas of greatest concern include along the Bearskin Creek
    watershed near N Charlotte Ave in Monroe, where a streamgauge
    indicates nuisance flooding of Dickerson Park is imminent.
    Other areas of concern include along and near US 74 between
    Monroe and Marshville, and areas between Waxhaw, Wesley
    Chapel, Mineral Springs, and Weddington.

    Additional bands of moderate rainfall are expected tonight
    and will likely cause further rises on area streams.  Another
    1-3 inches are possible through Tuesday morning.  Expect new
    areas of nuisance and Minor flooding to develop throughout
    the evening and overnight hours, including between Wesley
    Chapel, Indian Trail, and Fairview within the Crooked Creek
    and Goose Creek watersheds.

  - Soils are saturated and streams are swollen.  Therefore,
    additional heavy rain may quickly create new areas of
    flooding and cause previous areas of flooding to redevelop.
    As a result, a Flash Flood Warning may be issued later
    tonight if conditions continue to deteriorate.  Caution is
    advised near any stream or other vulnerable area.  Seek
    higher ground immediately if heavy rain develops.  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...
    Monroe, Indian Trail, Weddington, Stallings, Unionville,
    Wesley Chapel, Wingate, Waxhaw, Marshville, Lake Park,
    Mineral Springs, Hemby Bridge, Marvin, Fairview, Sturdivants,
    Jaars and Trinity.
