Flood Advisory issued July 9 at 7:18PM EDT until July 9 at 10:00PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

* WHAT...
Nuisance to Minor flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...
A portion of piedmont North Carolina, including the following counties, Catawba and Iredell.

* WHEN...
Until 1000 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 small culvert washout or two is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 717 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated heavy rain is ongoing due to multiple slow-moving thunderstorm cells over southeastern central and eastern Catawba County. Between 1 and 3 inches of rain has fallen over the past 60-75 minutes. Another cell has moved into the Advisory area over the past few minutes, prompting concerns for excessive runoff capable of producing areas of nuisance to Minor flooding.
Areas of greatest concern include along Lyle Creek near Section House Rd, County Home Rd, the Rock Bard Golf and Spa, and NC 16, the confluence of Lyle Creek and Mull Creek near Bunker Hill School Rd. Urbanized areas of Newton, Concord, Claremont, and Catawba, including along and near US 70 and I-40, may experience areas of deep ponding due to poor draining and overflowing small feeder streams.
- An additional 1-2 inches of rain is possible over the next hour due to these very slow-moving cells and the movement of additional thunderstorm cells into the Advisory area from the south and west. This rainfall may exacerbate developing flooding or cause new areas of flooding to develop. If these cells persist for an additional 30 minutes or longer, a Flash Flood Warning may be issued. Caution is advised near any stream or other vulnerable area. Seek higher ground immediately if streams start to rise. 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...
Hickory, Newton, St. Stephens, Conover, Stony Point, Claremont, Catawba, Lake Norman State Park, Sherrills Ford, Bandys, Scotts and Startown.
