The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
Southeastern Burke County in western North Carolina...
Caldwell County in western North Carolina...

* Until 115 PM EDT.

* At 728 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated a line of training cells
producing torrential rainfall moving across eastern Burke County
and entering central and eastern Caldwell County from the south.
This rainfall will be capable of producing 1-2 inches in less than
an hour over saturated soils. This rainfall may cause additional,
significant rises on area streams, including Zacks Fork Creek near
Lenoir; Lower Creek from Lenoir to Gamewell to Antioch Rd;
flood-prone urban areas from Cajah's Mountain to Sawmills to
Granite Falls and along US 70 from Morganton to Drexel, Valdese,
and Connelly Springs; the Yadkin River near Patterson; Kings Creek;
and Mulberry Creek near Collettsville, quickly exacerbating ongoing
Minor flooding.  Significant, Moderate flooding, potentially
impacting some structures and causing significant travel
disruptions, may develop quickly over the next 30-90 minutes.  If
you are near a creek or stream, seek higher ground now!

HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing
flash flooding.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams.
Expect significant flooding of adjacent low-lying areas,
including parks, trails, low-water crossings, boat-access
areas, and campgrounds.  Flooding of some crawl spaces and
basements is possible with potential flooding of
first-floors in residences and businesses near streams.
Evacuations may be needed.

* Some locations that may experience flash flooding include...
Hickory, Lenoir, Morganton, Longview, Sawmills, Granite Falls,
Valdese, Gamewell, Hudson and Salem.
