...FLOOD ADVISORY REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 915 PM EDT THIS EVENING...

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

* WHERE...A portion of western North Carolina, including the
  following counties, Avery and Caldwell.

* WHEN...Until 915 PM EDT.

* IMPACTS...Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas is
  expected along with rapid rises and high flows on smaller streams.
  This includes Wilson Creek from the headwaters in Avery County
  downstream to the Edgemont community, as well as Anthony Creek and
  the headwaters of Johns River.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 655 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to
    thunderstorms. Minor flooding is ongoing or expected to begin
    shortly in the advisory area. Between 1.5 and 3 inches of
    rain have fallen across much of the Advisory area since
    around 500 PM.
  - Heavier rainfall has moved back over the Advisory area, and
    additional rainfall amounts of up to one inch are expected
    through 800 PM. This is not expected to be enough to cause
    flash flooding, but high flow will continue along Wilson
    Creek from the headwaters downstream to the Edgemont
    community through the evening. An upgrade to a Flash Flood
    Warning is still possible, and people camping along Wilson
    Creek near the Avery and Caldwell County line should be
    prepared to take immediate action if a Warning is issued.
  - Some locations that will experience flooding include...
    Globe, Upton and Edgemont.
