* WHERE...Northeast Cabarrus County and extreme southeastern Rowan
County in North Carolina.

* WHEN...Until 1115 PM EDT.

* IMPACTS...Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to streams
and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks,

parking lots. Isolated, shallow flows over roadways is possible.
A few flood-prone, low-water crossings may become impassible. A
small culvert washout or two is possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 814 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated torrential rain due to
slow-moving thunderstorms over the Dutch Buffalo Creek
watershed from Cold Hill south to Mt Pleasant and the
confluence of the Rocky River near NC 200. Between 1.5 and
2.5 inches of rain have fallen over the past 60 minutes.
Resultant excess runoff may result in nuisance flooding
across the Advisory area.

The areas of primary concern include along Jennie Wolf Creek
near Gold Hill Rd, Klutz Rd, Cline School Rd, and Sisk Carter
Rd.

An additional 1-2 inches of rain may occur, primarily in
Cabarrus County near and south of Mount Pleasant. This may
exacerbate ongoing flooding and will likely cause new
flooding to develop, especially along and near Dutch Buffalo
Creek including along Adams Creek near Mt Pleasant Rd, as
well as poor-drainage areas within the town of Mt. Pleasant.
Avoid all area streams and flooded roadways.

- Nuisance flooding may occur near or within the following
locations...
Rockwell, Mt Pleasant and Gold Hill.
