Flood Advisory issued May 27 at 7:10PM EDT until May 27 at 9:00PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

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

* WHERE...
Buffalo Creek watershed in north-central Caldwell County.

* WHEN...
Until 900 PM EDT.

* IMPACTS...
Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to streams and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks, trails, and boat-access areas. Isolated, shallow flows over roadways is possible. A few flood-prone, low-water crossings may remain impassible. Culvert damage is likely.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 652 PM EDT, Earlier heavy rainfall from training thunderstorms produced approximately 3-5" of rainfall across the Buffalo Creek watershed in less than two hours earlier today, with isolated totals of 6" likely.
The resultant significant flash flood threat for the Buffalo Creek/Cove area has ended as the floodwave has moved downstream and into the Yadkin River. Small tributaries have receded to near or below bankfull levels and Buffalo Creek has crested and is now receding. However, areas of residual nuisance flooding may remain for the next 1-2 hours. Some low-water crossings will likely remain impassible during this time. Damage to driveway culverts has also been reported.
Therefore, the Flash Flood Warning is being replaced with a Flood Advisory to allow for flood waters to fully recede and roadway safety to be assessed. Please continue to heed any road closures, be mindful of potential damage to culverts, and avoid rapidly flowing streams through tonight. No additional heavy rain is expected tonight and no additional flash flooding will occur.
- Some locations that may experience nuisance flooding include...
Buffalo Creek valley and associated tributaries in the Buffalo Cove Community.
