A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for rapid onset flooding based on current forecasts. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically flood. Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been associated with an increased risk of landslides, especially fast-moving debris flows and debris slides. If you live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain, especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm and follow evacuation orders from local officials. Consider postponing travel along mountain roads during the heavy rainfall event. &&
Flood Advisory
Issued: 12:20 AM Oct. 11, 2026 – National Weather Service
...FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT SUNDAY... * WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. * WHERE...Spartanburg County in upstate South Carolina... * WHEN...Until 800 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 803 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated a thunderstorm producing torrential rainfall is quickly moving from south to north across the county. This torrential 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 the small streams. However, this brief period of torrential rainfall is causing more rapid rises to develop, including along Lawsons Fork Creek from Inman to Spartanburg, the South Pacolet River near Campobello, the North Tyger River near Wellford and Lyman, and small tributaries to these rivers including Jordan Creek, Motlow Creek, and Meadow Creek. Isolated out-of-bank conditions are likely to develop over the next 1-3 hours. Glendale Fire Department is reporting nuisance flooding along Country Club Rd near Church St. Please obey all barricades and avoid flooded roadways. Only a few inches of water can strand your vehicle. - Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms may develop over the next few hours 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... Spartanburg, Greer, Boiling Springs SC, Woodruff, Duncan, Lyman, Pacolet, Landrum, Cowpens and Wellford. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads. &&
