2 flood. Local standard time, as filed.

Flood, Northern Jackson

When: June 12, 5:30 PM EST to June 13, 5:00 AM EST
Where: Northern Jackson forecast zone
Reported by: LAW ENFORCEMENT
Coordinates: 35.917, -80.533

Flood, Southern Jackson

When: June 12, 5:30 PM EST to June 13, 5:00 AM EST
Where: Southern Jackson forecast zone
Reported by: LAW ENFORCEMENT
Coordinates: 36.083, -78.867

Persistent, widespread heavy rain showers associated with moisture from tropical storm Arlene resulted in flooding across the southern mountains. County reported the Tuckaseegee was out of its banks in several locations, with several roads closed, including Shook Cove Rd, Dillard Rd, and North & South River Rd. As water was released from various dams along the river, the flooding persisted well after heavy rain ended across the area.

What these are

Flood: Flooding that develops more slowly than a flash flood: rivers leaving their banks, or water standing over land for an extended time.

After NWS Directive 10-1605, the rules offices file Storm Data by.
