...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL NOON EDT FOR
MCDOWELL AND BURKE COUNTIES...

At 941 AM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated 
that up to three inches of rain have fallen since early this 
morning. Additional and occasionally heavy tropical rain bands will 
continue to develop and move into the warned area through the late 
morning hours. Redeveloping high water conditions and  flooding 
along creeks and streams throughout the headwaters of the Catawba 
River are expected.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. Do not attempt to cross
water-covered roadways, bridges, or low-level crossings. Only a few
inches of rapidly flowing water can carry away your vehicle. It is
not worth the risk. Please TURN AROUND, DON'T DROWN.

The additional heavy rain will increase the risk of landslides,
especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Be
especially alert if you are near a stream, especially at the base of
a mountain or in a cove. Watch for loose-moving soil and rocks or a
sudden increase in streamflow. Leave the area quickly if this is
observed. When driving along roads where the terrain is steep or
rocky, watch and listen for falling rocks, mud, trees and other
debris.
