...FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY FOR SOUTHERN WAYNE COUNTY...

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Wayne County in central North Carolina...

* Until 330 AM EDT

* At 1213 AM EDT, emergency management officials reported heavy rain 
  across the warned area. Up to 15 inches of rain has already 
  fallen. Emergency management officials also are reporting that 
  five high water rescues have already taken place. Flash flooding 
  is already occurring.

  This is a FLASH FLOOD EMERGENCY for southern Wayne County. This a 
PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEK HIGHER GROUND NOW! 

* Some locations that will experience flooding include...
  Goldsboro, Mount Olive, Walnut Creek, Seven Springs, Mar-Mac,
  Brogden, Cliffs Of The Neuse State Park, Elroy and Grantham.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Move to higher ground now. This is an extremely dangerous and
life-threatening situation. Do not attempt to travel unless you are
fleeing an area subject to flooding or under an evacuation order.

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Excessive runoff from the heavy rain will cause flash flooding of
creeks and streams, roads, low lying and poor drainage areas. Do not
drive your vehicle into areas where water covers the road. Many roads
and intersections in the area will quickly flood. When encountering
flooded roads, turn around, don't drown.

Heavy rainfall continues across southern Wayne county this morning.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Raleigh NC
230 PM EDT Fri Sep 14 2018

.SYNOPSIS...
Hurricane Florence will move very slowly west to southwest near the
coast of southern North Carolina and northeastern South Carolina
through tonight. A slow motion to the west over northern South
Carolina will follow Saturday with a turn northward into the
Appalachians Sunday. Conditions will finally improve early next week
as the remnants of Florence finally move away.

&&

.NEAR TERM /through Saturday/...
As of 135 PM Friday...

Currect forecast through Saturday looks on track.

Hurricane Florence will move extremely slowly towards the southwest
staying very close to the NC coastline this afternoon. By Saturday
morning Hurricane Florence is forecast to still be near the
coastline over northeastern South Carolina. Latest guidance continue
to advertise a swath of 10" to 20" across central North Carolina
(isolated higher amounts possible). These types of rainfall
unfortunately make sense given the strong low level moisture
transport convergence on the back side of the storm.

This means that a prolonged period of torrential rainfall can be
expected across most of central North Carolina. Flash flooding of
creeks, rivers, streams, and nearby roadways, and washouts of area
bridges are likely. This will likely result in catastrophic and life
threatening flash flooding and extensive prolonged river flooding
across the lower Neuse, Black, and Cape Fear river basins.

The coastal plain and Sandhills will remain in a favorable area for
isolated tornadoes for the rest of the afternoon into this evening.
As Florence moves further westward on Saturday, a favorable
environment for isolated tornadoes will expand westward into the
southern Piedmont.

&&
.SHORT TERM /SATURDAY NIGHT THROUGH SUNDAY NIGHT/...
As of 230 PM Friday...

The remnant circulation of Florence will move slowly westward
Saturday night and then begin to lift north into the Appalachians on
Sunday. As the surface low slips west, a persistent southerly,
convergent flow will produce an arc of widespread moderate to heavy
rain across the state. The greatest rain coverage will be across the
southern Piedmont and Sandhills.

Rainfall amounts during the period will average between 2 and 5
inches with lesser amounts across the far northeast Piedmont and
northern Coastal Plain. This additional rain is likely to exasperate
anticipated flooding issues across the southern tier including the
Neuse, Cape Fear, Black and Yadkin river basins where river flooding
may become extreme.

Windy conditions with winds of 15 to 25 MPH with gusts near 40 MPH
on Saturday evening will gradually abate as the remnant low weakens
and pushes away. Given the wet soil, additional issues with falling
trees are expected.

&&

.LONG TERM /SUNDAY NIGHT THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 230 PM Friday...

The remnant circulation of Florence is expected to lift northeast
through the lower Ohio Valley and northeastern United States Monday
and Tuesday. This will mean the trailing rain bands and associated
weather hazards will come to an end by Sunday night or Monday
for the region.

The trailing surface trough will keep a lingering chance of
mainly diurnal showers and storms into Tuesday afternoon and
possibly Wednesday afternoon. Very warm and humid conditions will
also linger through the rest of the week. Lows in the lower to mid
70s (well above normal) with highs in the 80s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/...
As of 135 PM Friday...

Mainly MVFR ceilings will prevail through the TAF period, amidst
tropically-moist, nely low level flow between high pressure over the
Northeast and Hurricane Florence. A shield of heavy, tropical
precipitation with reduced visibilities, and stronger and more
numerous outer bands of showers and storms, will pivot westward
across cntl NC through this evening, including into the GSO and INT
vicinity between 00Z-06Z.

Outlook: Florence will eventually arc across SC Saturday and
Saturday night, then lift nwd and newd through the Appalachians
through early next week. Breezy to windy conditions, periods of
continued tropical downpours, storms, and isolated tornadoes --and
sub-VFR conditions-- will result, with improving conditions for
Tuesday and Wednesday.
