* WHEN...
Until 815 PM EDT.

* IMPACTS...
Minor flooding in low-lying and poor drainage areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 535 PM EDT, emergency management and weather spotters reported Buck Creek and Sams Creek were basically at the top of their banks following multiple rounds of heavy rainfall in the past 24 hours. Between 3 and 5 inches of rain have fallen in the creek basin since Monday afternoon. The stream bed was widened in some spots by the flooding which occurred during Helene, and piles of debris in the creek still are inhibiting flow in some spots. Additional rainfall remains possible through this evening, and due to the height of Buck Creek and Sams Creek, even short downpours may lead to flash flooding along it.
- Areas along Buck Creek and downstream of Sams Creek are the areas of most concern for possible flooding this evening.
- Some locations that may experience flooding include...
Pleasant Gardens, Busick, and the Blue Ridge Parkway between Craggy and Little Switzerland.
