Warnings and Notices

	Areal Flood Advisory, Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 5:21 PM EDT on July 09, 2009 ... The flood advisory for minor flooding of poor drainage areas remains in effect until 600 PM EDT for north central Beaufort... central Colleton... northeastern Hampton and east central Allendale counties... At 520 PM EDT... National Weather Service Doppler radar continued to indicate area of heavy rain capable of producing minor flooding. These storms were located along a line extending from Miley to Yemassee... or along a line extending from 6 miles northeast of Hampton to Yemassee... moving west at 15 mph. Locations in the advisory include but are not limited to Almeda intersection... Crocketville... Cummings... Dale... Early Branch... Gardens Corner... Hendersonville... Islandton... McPhersonville... Miley... Sheldon... Sycamore... Varnville... White Hall and Yemassee. Precautionary/preparedness actions... This heavy rainfall will result in significant ponding of water on area roads and in low spots. Slow down to reduce the risk of hydroplaning. If water covers the entire roadway or is flowing... find another Route. The water is probably much deeper than it appears and only one foot of water can stall a vehicle. When encountering flooded roads make the smart choice... turn around... dont drown. Lat... Lon 3311 8128 3303 8107 3301 8096 3292 8077 3282 8066 3264 8061 3253 8070 3260 8080 3265 8085 3265 8088 3311 8134 421 PM EDT Thu Jul 9 2009 ... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect until midnight EDT tonight... The Flash Flood Watch continues for * portions of southeast Georgia and southeast South Carolina... including the following areas... in southeast Georgia... Bulloch... Candler... coastal Bryan... coastal Chatham... coastal Liberty... coastal McIntosh... Effingham... Evans... inland Bryan... inland Chatham... inland Liberty... inland McIntosh... Jenkins... long... Screven and Tattnall. In southeast South Carolina... Allendale... Beaufort... Berkeley... Charleston... coastal Colleton... coastal Jasper... Dorchester... Hampton... inland Colleton and inland Jasper. * Until midnight EDT tonight * showers and thunderstorms will become numerous to widespread over the area this evening. Much of the area has received between 2 and 6 inches of rain during the past 2 days. An additional 1 to 3 inches... with locally higher amounts... are possible through tonight where slow moving thunderstorms occur. The combination of heavy rainfall and saturated grounds will enhance the risk for flash flooding. * The risk for flooding will be greatest in low lying and poor drainage areas. The potential for flooding may become enhanced in downtown Charleston... downtown Savannah... Beaufort and other coastal communities near times of high tide. Rises along area rivers can also be expected... although river flooding is not expected to occur at this time. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Flash Flood Watch means there is a potential for flash flooding based on current forecasts. Monitor the latest forecasts and be alert for possible flash flood warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared to take action if flooding develops. Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio all hazards... TV or your local news source for the latest weather information from the National Weather Service.
