...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 1 PM EST THIS 
AFTERNOON FOR TRANSYLVANIA COUNTY...

At 1043 AM EST, Doppler radar indicated rain had ended across the 
warned county.  Locally excessive runoff will continue to be seen 
within the upper French Broad basin into the afternoon.

The Rosman French Broad River gage was at the flood level of 9 feet 
as of 1030 am.  River levels around Rosman will continue to fall 
today, as well as the Davidson River, which is well on it's way to 
returning to within it's banks.  French Broad River levels around 
Brevard and downstream will still be rising and flooding low-lying 
areas.  Flooding closer to 276 on the Little River will work it's 
way downstream to the French Broad confluence by this afternoon.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by excessive runoff

SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges.

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

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Heavy rain has increased 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.

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.
