Flood Advisory
Issued: 6:32 AM Oct. 11, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 830 AM EDT THIS MORNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...Cleveland County in the piedmont of North Carolina...

* WHEN...Until 830 AM EDT.

* 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 224 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated a several rounds of
torrential rainfall are moving through Cleveland County, with
additional cells of moderate rainfall moving into the county from
the south.  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 yesterday morning.  Widespread,
storm-total rainfall of the 1.5-3.5 inches fell yesterday, with
the highest totals near the Rutherford County line.  The rainfall
has accumulated steadily, allowing soils to slowly saturate and
runoff to slowly increase, resulting in steady rises in small
streams. However, this current period of torrential rainfall may
cause more rapid rises to develop, especially in the city of
Shelby, along Sandy Run near Mooresboro Rd, and along Ashworth
Creek near McCraw Rd.  Isolated 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
between 4am and 9am this morning.  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...
Shelby, Kings Mountain, Boiling Springs NC, Belwood, Grover,
Lawndale, Patterson Springs, Fallston, Polkville, and Lattimore.
