The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
Mecklenburg County in the piedmont of North Carolina...

* Until 415 PM EDT.

* At 1031 AM EDT, Doppler radar and automated gauges indicate heavy
rainfall due to numerous rounds of showers moving through the
Charlotte metro area.  Storm-total rainfall over the past 4-6
hours is exceeding 3-4 inches across much of southern Mecklenburg
County.  The heaviest rainfall has occurred along Little Sugar
Creek, where isolated totals of 4-5" have been observed.  Flash
flooding is imminent and will worsen over the next 1-2 hours.
Take action now!

* Areas of greatest concern include:
1) along Little Sugar Creek and feeder drainages from near 36th
Street to Medical Center Drive to Hillsdale Ave and Seneca Place
2) along Steele Creek and feeder drainages near John Price Rd,
Arrowood Mobile Home Park, and Carowinds Blvd
3) along Briar Creek and feeder drainages from near Shamrock Dr to
Independence Blvd to Colony Rd

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing
flash flooding.

SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.

IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams,
urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses.
Impacts to structures adjacent to drainages and
streams are possible, and residents and businesses are
urged to move away from streams.

* Some locations that may experience flash flooding include...
Uptown Charlotte, Huntersville, Central Charlotte, South
Charlotte, Northeast Charlotte, East Charlotte, Southwest
Charlotte, Northwest Charlotte, West Concord, Matthews, Cornelius,
Mint Hill, Davidson, Pineville, Harrisburg, Marvin, The Plaza,
Hidden Valley, Freedom Park and Southpark Mall.

* Additional rainfall of 1-2 inches is possible over the next 60-90
minutes as the last of the heaviest rain moves through the
Charlotte metro.  This rainfall is expected to worsen developing
flooding conditions and could lead to isolated areas of Moderate
flooding, with significant inundation of flood-prone roads and a
few structural impacts.  Drivers are urged to exercise extreme
caution and obey all barricades.  Residents and businesses are
urged to protect life and move away from streams.
