...FLOOD WARNING NOW IN EFFECT UNTIL 1230 PM EDT THIS AFTERNOON...

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

* WHERE...West Central Rowan County in the Piedmont of North
  Carolina...

* WHEN...Until 1230 PM EDT.

* IMPACTS...Flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying
  and flood-prone locations is likely already occurring. Low-water
  crossings are inundated with water and may not be passable.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 1014 AM EDT, Automated river gauges indicated rapid rises due
    to runoff from previous rainfall. Flooding is ongoing or expected
    to begin shortly in the warned area.
  - Despite an earlier drop in river stage, continued runoff has
    resulted in a recent increase in river stage along the Second
    Creek watershed. At 915 AM EDT, the stream gauge on Second Creek
    near US-70 was in action stage, and briefly reached minor flood
    stage earlier this morning, which for this stream gauge occurs at
    14 feet. The stream gauge is now back in action stage, which
    indicates the river stage is gradually lowering.

    Flooding of adjacent low-lying farmland is anticipated in
    response, and should continue into the afternoon. Impacted
    crossings upstream may include at White Rd, Lyerly Rd, Upright
    Rd, Graham Rd, Hall Rd, Childers Rd, and Bear Poplar Rd.
  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...
    Piedmont Research Station.
