National Weather Service Wilmington NC
757 PM EDT Sun Aug 11 2024

The National Weather Service in Wilmington has extended the

* Flash Flood Warning for...
  Northwestern Bladen County in southeastern North Carolina...
  Northern Robeson County in southeastern North Carolina...

* Until 900 PM EDT.

* At 757 PM EDT, local law enforcement reported thunderstorms 
  producing heavy rain in Parkton and Pembroke. Between 2 and 4 
  inches of rain have fallen. The expected rainfall rate is 1.5 to 2 
  inches in 1 hour. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 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...Law enforcement reported.

  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...
  Lumberton, Elizabethtown, Red Springs, Pembroke, Maxton, St. 
  Pauls, Tolarsville, Howellsville, Tobermory, Smiths, Duart, Barker 
  Ten Mile, Robeson Community College, Hestertown, Bladen Community 
  College, White Oak, Jerome, Rex, Ruskin and Buie.

Flash flooding has been reported in multiple spots throughout 
Parkton, including along Victoria Drive, Blue Road, and West Parkton 
Tobermory Road. In Pembroke, flash flooding was reported near the 
intersection of Country Club Road (NC-711) and Eddie Sampson Road.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Dangerous flooding from heavy rainfall can be expected, especially 
near poor drainage areas and other flood prone locations. It is 
harder to recognize flood dangers at night, as it will be difficult 
to determine the depth of the water. Roads may be damaged or washed 
away. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. If flooding is observed, 
then turn around, don't drown.

Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Wilmington NC
242 PM EDT Sun Aug 11 2024

.SYNOPSIS...
A front stalled nearby will keep the weather unsettled through
Monday. Gradual drying will begin Tuesday as the front pushes to
the south, possibly even leading to rain-free weather beginning
Thursday as even the humidity abates.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
The stationary front and the deep moisture, 2" + precipitable water,
will continue to be the main focus. This afternoon, convection is
focused along the coast, and a second band is along the stationary
from Northeast Bladen County to the west of Florence County. Very
little synoptic forcing is seen, but at the mesoscale, the frontal
boundary and afternoon heating are supplying the lift and
instability. 

The convective allowing model focus shows on Monday, the
concentration of convection will begin along the coast and become
scattered to the western portions of the County Warning Area.

With the saturated ground from tropical storm Debby, today's ongoing
convection requires the continuation of the Flood Watch through 11
PM. Any of these slow-moving thunderstorms can quickly drop 1-2" of
rain.

The low temperatures tonight are expected to fall into the middle
70s inland and the upper 70s at the coast.  Patchy fog is expected
to develop a few hours before sunrise and dissipate by mid-morning. 
Highs on Monday will range from the upper 80s over Southeast North
Carolina and lower 90s over Northeast South Carolina.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT/...
Frontal boundary nearly stalled and to our south Monday. Models are
in good agreement in keeping the area mostly rain-free though the
proximity of the boundary will still call for slight chance POPs
along the coast and southern zones. The boundary remains to our
south Tuesday and model POPs seem a bit too high. Granted there is
no strong push of dry air just yet but conceptually Tuesday should
really mark a downward trend in rainfall chances and moreso
intensity as PW lowers from the current all time high values.
Temperatures through the period will be close to seasonable
normals.

&&

.LONG TERM /TUESDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
High pressure builds in from the north Wednesday lowering both
dewpoints and rain chances, even moreso Thursday. A few light
showers are progged to linger but the heavy rain threat will have
ended allowing area river to see decreasing flooding, some even
dropping out of flood status altogether during this timeframe.  Late
in the week an upstream ridge strengthens and the trough in the East
does as well.  We should have a few days with highs in the low 80s
and lows in the upper 60s.

&&

.AVIATION /18Z SUNDAY THROUGH THURSDAY/...
Convection with MVFR/IFR conditions has begun along the coast
and the coastal convection is expected to shift inland through
the afternoon and evening. After the convection wanes after 04Z,
VFR conditions are expected to be short lived at the inland TAF
sites where IFR conditions for mist and ceilings are expected
after 08 UTC. At the coastal TAF sites MVFR conditions are
expected mainly after 06 UTC. Conditions are expected to improve
to VFR after 12/13 UTC.

Extended Outlook... Predominantly VFR expected this week outside
of morning fog and aftn/evening convection, as we return to a more
typical summertime pattern. A period of dry weather begins
Thursday.

&&

.MARINE...

Through Monday...As the stationary front remains inland, the
winds will remain from the southwest at around 10 knots through
Monday. Seas with a southeast swell will stay between 2 and 3
feet through the period.

Monday night through Friday... Cold front pushes through just
prior to the period leading to wind swinging around to the NE.
Not a common wind direction for the time of year but unlike with
winter fronts there is no big push of high pressure, keeping
the winds light and conditions manageable for mariners. There
will be a bit of a short period wind chop that develops,
possibly as low as 5 seconds. The high pushes south a bit
stronger later in the period keeping winds out of the NE. Seas
and winds remain mellow-until the Ernesto swells arrive with
could be as soon as Friday.

436 PM EDT Sun Aug 11 2024

...A STRONG THUNDERSTORM WILL IMPACT CENTRAL GEORGETOWN COUNTY
THROUGH 500 PM EDT...

At 436 PM EDT, Doppler radar was tracking a strong thunderstorm
capable of producing a landspout over Oatland, or 7 miles north of
Georgetown, moving southeast at 15 mph.

HAZARD...Landspouts and wind gusts up to 40 mph.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Minor damage to outdoor objects is possible. Gusty winds
         could knock down tree limbs and blow around unsecured
         objects.

Locations impacted include...
Georgetown, DeBordieu Colony, Pawleys Island, Yawkey South Island,
Graves, Oatland, and Georgetown Memorial Hospital.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Conditions are favorable for the development of weak, brief funnel
clouds. This type of funnel cloud is harmless, but on rare occasions
they can briefly touch down, producing wind gusts over 50 mph. If a
funnel cloud is spotted move indoors and report your sighting to the
National Weather Service.

Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm and may lead to
localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded
roadways.

Continuous cloud to ground lightning is occurring with this storm.
Move indoors immediately. Lightning is one of nature's leading
killers. Remember, if you can hear thunder, you are close enough to
be struck by lightning.
