Flood Watch until 06:00PM
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible.
* WHERE...The northern and central Coastal Plain.
* WHEN...Until 6 PM EDT this evening.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. Area creeks and streams are running high and could flood with more heavy rain.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - Given recent wet conditions, the ground is saturated and streamflows are significantly above normal. Much of central North Carolina is susceptible to flash flooding as periods of heavy rain overspread the region. The heaviest and most widespread rain will fall through mid afternoon. Total rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are expected on average with 3 inches or greater possible in isolated locations. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
