...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 615 AM EDT THIS 
MORNING FOR SOUTHEASTERN HAYWOOD, SOUTHEASTERN JACKSON AND CENTRAL 
TRANSYLVANIA COUNTIES...

At 357 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy 
rain across the warned area. Between 3 and 5 inches of rain have 
fallen. Additional rainfall amounts up to 2 inches are possible in 
the warned area. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin 
shortly.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
         highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
         drainage and low-lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Graveyard Fields, Black Balsam Area, B.R. Parkway-Black Balsam To 
  Mount Pisgah, Lake Toxaway, B.R. Parkway-Balsam Gap To Black 
  Balsam Area, Gorges State Park, Balsam Grove, Wolf Mountain, Cruso 
  and Sapphire.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Heavy rain is increasing 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.

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

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.
