BULLETIN - EAS ACTIVATION REQUESTED
Flash Flood Warning
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
751 PM EDT FRI SEP 1 2017

The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Northwestern Cabarrus County in the Piedmont of North Carolina...
  Southeastern Iredell County in the Piedmont of North Carolina...
  North central Mecklenburg County in the Piedmont of North
  Carolina...
  Southwestern Rowan County in the Piedmont of North Carolina...

* Until 1015 PM EDT

* At 747 PM EDT, Doppler radar estimates indicated thunderstorms 
  have produced heavy rain across the warned area.  Two to three 
  inches of rain have fallen since 600 PM. Roadway flooding was 
  reported at some intersections in the area. Additional rain later 
  this evening may cause rapid ponding on roadways and cause 
  drainage systems to overflow.

* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
  Huntersville, Kannapolis, Davidson, Enochville, Coddle Creek
  Reservoir, Landis and Cornelius.

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.

Excessive runoff from heavy rainfall will cause flooding in urban
areas. Storm drains, streams and other drainages will become
overwhelmed by excessive rainfall, flooding low-lying roads,
intersections, and parking lots. Underpasses are especially dangerous
because sudden flood waters can quickly surround and submerge your
vehicle. Stay alert and avoid flood-prone areas.

When it is safe to do so, please report flood waters or landslides
flowing over roads or threatening property to the National Weather
Service by calling toll free, 1, 800, 2 6 7, 8 1 0 1, by posting on
our Facebook page, or via Twitter using hashtag NWSGSP. Your message
should describe the event and the specific location where it
occurred, including roadways, nearby cross streets, stream names and
other landmarks.

What forecasters said that day

The local office's own words before this flash flood warning went out, as it sent them, from the Iowa Environmental Mesonet's archive of National Weather Service text.

NWS Greenville-Spartanburg, SC wrote its last area forecast discussion before this flash flood warning went out at Sep 1, 7:45 PM EDT, 6 minutes earlier.

Area forecast discussion, Sep 1, 7:45 PM EDT, 6 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
745 PM EDT Fri Sep 1 2017

.SYNOPSIS...
Numerous rounds of showers and potentially severe thunderstorms are
expected this evening as the remnants of Harvey move into the Ohio
Valley and a front persists across western North Carolina. Warmer
and drier high pressure behind Harvey will result in a return to
near normal temperatures by early next week. A cold front will
approach from the west by the middle of next week, increasing rain
chances once again.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH SATURDAY/...
As of 745 PM EDT: Storms have undergone a rapid redevelopment early
this evening as a boundary strengthened and dropped south across the
NC Foothills and Piedmont. The storms should weaken through the
evening, but will hold onto the watch until the weakening trend
takes hold. The entire area of storms should move east with the cold
front late this evening.

An upper level jet with strengthen over or just east of the
Appalachians on Saturday as a trough lingers west of the mountain
chain, but profiles will be drier and westerly flow will provide
downsloping east of the mountains. Any deeper moisture for lingering
showers through Saturday will affect mainly the TN border counties.

&&

.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 2:30 PM EDT Friday:  We still have a rather sharp H5/H7 trough
to move across the area Saturday night. A batch of clouds will cross
the northern sections of our forecast area (FA), with a few showers
in the mountains. Those will wane during the overnight. Elsewhere,
quiet weather will be the rule Saturday night, and clouds in our NC
western piedmont counties will be exiting east.

Otherwise, we remain under a broad cyclonic flow aloft right into
Labor Day, but it will be easing. At the surface a bubble of high
pressure will edge into the region Sunday with dry conditions.

The high will move east on Labor Day but will still control our
weather regime for the Holiday. Weak surface troughing tries to
develop in the mountains, but overall dry conditions will prevail.

Temperatures late in the weekend, and into Labor Day, will edge up a
degree or two.

&&

.LONG TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 1200 PM EDT Friday: Early AFD today because of the threat of
svr wx this PM. Anyways...the medium range picks up with a
relatively quiet day on Tuesday with a wedge of dry air still in
place over the forecast area. Rapid moistening and height falls will
occur Tuesday night and Wednesday as an upper level trough dives
towards the southeast CONUS and a surface frontal boundary lines up
across the OH River Valley/southern Appalachians. An increase in QPF
response is expected through the day on Wednesday and into the
evening as the front moves southeastward through the forecast area.
Rainfall totals do not look particularly impressive at the moment,
though confidence is increasing in a widespread rain event across
much of the region. Drier air is allowed to work into the forecast
area by Thursday afternoon as the trough axis passes through the
Carolinas, and remains through the end of the medium range. A quick
note about Irma - confidence is increasing in model solutions that
show recurvature of the hurricane back out into the Atlantic,
greatly limiting impacts in our area. Considering it is hurricane
season, though, we encourage everyone to be prepared and remain
aware of the forecast.

Finally, temperatures will begin the period near to just above
average, decreasing to almost 10 degrees below average by the middle
of next week as cloud cover overspreads the area and upper heights
fall.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
At KCLT: Boundary dropping south toward the airfield has turned the
wind to NE. This has also caused a rapid redevelopment of storms
nearby. Looks like TSRA will remain away from the airport, but shra
may still move through. This has also caused a development of MVFR
cigs. The MVFR cigs will linger through the evening with a downward
trend of IFR overnight. Vsby will also drop into the MVFR range and
could become IFR before daybreak. Guidance shows winds returning to
SE then S as a cold front moves in from the west. VSBY quickly
improves after daybreak but cigs only slowly rise and scatter out.
Gusty SW wind expected for the afternoon.

Elsewhere: KHKY will be similar KCLT, but with a better chance of
TSRA this evening and VSBY restrictions overnight. The NE winds
should remain north of the SC sites as should the restrictions.
Can't rule out a low VFR cig from time to time overnight. Gusty SW
wind expected Saturday afternoon. KAVL may see some light showers
overnight, but also has a good chance of IFR cigs and vsby
overnight. SW winds turn NW and become gusty during the afternoon.

Outlook: Drier high pressure will settle overhead late this weekend
into early next week. Another cold front will approach from the
northwest next Tuesday into Wednesday.
