...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of North Carolina, including the following areas,
  Alleghany NC, Ashe, Rockingham, Stokes, Surry, Watauga, Wilkes and
  Yadkin, Virginia, including the following areas, Alleghany VA,
  Amherst, Bath, Bedford, Bland, Botetourt, Campbell, Carroll,

  following areas, Eastern Greenbrier, Mercer, Monroe, Summers and
  Western Greenbrier.

* WHEN...Until 10 PM EDT this evening.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur
  in poor drainage and urban areas. Low-water crossings may be
  flooded. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and
  rivers are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - Showers and thunderstorms will continue to develop through
    the evening hours. A nearby frontal boundary will provide the
    focus for repeated storms to develop. Recent heavy rains have
    helped generate saturated soils in some locations. These
    factors will allow for flash flooding to more easily occur.
