## extract

Flood Advisory — Greenville, SC; Pickens, SC
Severity: Minor. Certainty: Likely.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Northern Greenville County in upstate South Carolina...
Northern Pickens County in upstate South Carolina...

* WHEN...Until 930 AM EDT Sunday.

* IMPACTS...Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to streams
and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks,
greenways, boat-access areas, golf courses, underpasses, and
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 932 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated a line of torrential
rainfall quickly moving from south to north across northern
Pickens and Greenville counties.  This rainfall is occurring on
top of saturated soils due to a prolonged period of light to
moderate showers that have occurred over the county since this
morning.  Widespread, storm-total rainfall of the 2.5-3.5 inches
have fallen over the past 12 hours. The rainfall has accumulated
steadily, allowing soils to slowly saturate and runoff to slowly
increase, resulting in steady rises in small streams.  However,
this brief period of torrential rainfall is causing more rapid
rises to develop, including along Eastatoe Creek near Rocky
Bottom and Sunset, Oolenoy River from Sunset to Pumpkintown,
Middle Saluda River from Jones Gap State Park to Cleveland, North
Saluda River above the reservoir and below the reservoir near
Slater- Marietta, and the headwaters of the South, Middle, and
North Tyger rivers from Tigerville to Gowensville.  Isolated to
scattered out-of-bank conditions impacting low-lying areas
adjacent to streams are likely to develop over the next 1-3
hours.

- Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms may develop over
tonight and the threat will persist through the early morning
hours on Sunday.  These showers and storms will be very efficient
at producing heavy rainfall.  Soils are saturated and streams are
swollen. Therefore, additional heavy rain may quickly create new
areas of flooding and cause previous areas of flooding to
redevelop.  As a result, Flash Flood Warnings may be issued
tonight.  Caution is advised near any stream or other vulnerable
area.  Seek higher ground immediately if heavy rain develops.
Please have a plan in place should flash flooding develop and do
not hesitate to act.  Please heed all evacuation orders from
Emergency Management officials.

- Some locations that may experience flooding include...
Travelers Rest, Slater-Marietta, Tryon, Pleasant Ridge State
Park, Jones Gap State Park, Caesars Head State Park, Table Rock
State Park, Tigerville, Jocassee Gorges, and Keowee Toxaway State
Park.
