Warnings and Notices

	Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 11:27 AM EST on November 11, 2009 ... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect through Thursday morning... The Flash Flood Watch continues for * portions of North Carolina and upstate South Carolina... including the following areas... in North Carolina... Alexander... Burke mountains... Caldwell mountains... Cabarrus... Catawba... Cleveland... Davie... eastern McDowell... greater Burke... greater Caldwell... greater Rutherford... Gaston... Iredell... Lincoln... McDowell Mountains... Mecklenburg... Rutherford mountains... Rowan and Union NC. In upstate South Carolina... Cherokee... Chester and York. * Through Thursday morning * a large band of moderate to heavy rain will likely remain across the east facing slopes of the North Carolina mountains and the adjacent foothills through this evening. Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are likely through tonight... resulting in storm total accumulations of 3 to 5 inches... with locally higher amounts in excess of 6 inches likely. * The expected rainfall may cause flooding of smaller creeks and streams... minor flooding is expected to develop later today across upper portions of the Broad River. In addition... significant poor drainage flooding may develop in urban locations... including the Charlotte Metro area. Precautionary/preparedness actions... A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation. You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action should flash flood warnings be issued.

	Wind Advisory
Statement as of 11:29 AM EST on November 11, 2009 ... Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 am EST Thursday... A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 am EST Thursday. Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph... with gusts as high as 40 mph... will continue today and tonight across the Piedmont and much of the foothills of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. These gusty winds... combined with saturated soil from the ongoing rainfall... will likely cause a number of trees to become uprooted across the advisory area. Precautionary/preparedness actions... This Wind Advisory has been issued because gusty winds are expected to cause quite a few trees to fall due to saturated soil. This may result in scattered power outages.

	Record Report
Statement as of 2:04 am EST on November 11, 2009 ... Record daily maximum rainfall set at Greenville-Spartanburg SC... A record rainfall of 2.42 inches was set at the Greenville-Spartanburg Airport on Tuesday. This breaks the old record of 1.16 inches set on November 10 in 1987.
