...FLASH FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY MORNING THROUGH
LATE THURSDAY NIGHT...

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for portions of southeast North Carolina and 
  northeast South Carolina, including the following areas, in 
  southeast North Carolina, Bladen, Coastal Brunswick, Coastal 
  New Hanover, Coastal Pender, Columbus, Inland Brunswick, 
  Inland New Hanover, Inland Pender, and Robeson. In northeast 
  South Carolina, Central Horry, Coastal Georgetown, Coastal 
  Horry, Darlington, Dillon, Florence, Inland Georgetown, 
  Marion, Marlboro, Northern Horry, and Williamsburg. 

* From Wednesday morning through late Thursday night

* Potential heavy rainfall from Michael

* Michael is expected to produce heavy rainfall across the area as
  it lifts northeast across the Carolinas Thursday. Average
  rainfall of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts is
  possible Wednesday through Thursday night. In addition, the
  ground remains saturated in many areas from the significant
  rainfall received from Florence last month. As a result, it will
  not take as much rainfall to produce new flooding. 

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. You should monitor later forecasts and be 
prepared to take action should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
