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

* WHERE...
A portion of western North Carolina, including the following county, Yancey.

* WHEN...
Until 530 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 culvert washout is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 228 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated heavy rain due to nearly stationary thunderstorms. Between 1 and 3 inches of rain is likely to have occurred over the past 90 minutes.
This has likely caused small streams to quickly reach bankfull with some adjacent lowland flooding possible, impacting low-water crossings and other flood-prone areas.
An additional 0.50 inch of rainfall is possible as the storms continue to weaken but intense rainfall has ended. However, the flood threat will persist for the next 1-2 hours as excessive runoff moves through adjacent small streams and the South Toe River.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Celo and Micaville.
