* WHAT...
Nuisance flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...
Central and South-Central Gaston County, North Carolina * WHEN...Through 430 PM 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 324 PM EDT, Heavy rain responsible for excessive runoff and rapid rises on small streams from Dallas to Ranlo, Gastonia, and Crowders has ended and many of these streams have crested and are receding back below critical (bankfull) levels. Residual nuisance flooding of a few streams may continue for the next 30 minutes, but the flood-threat is ending. Therefore, the Flood Advisory will continue through 430 PM, at which time it will be cancelled.
Earlier, Gaston County Emergency Management reported Robinson St was closed in Dallas due to flooding. While flood waters have receded, barricades may still be in place. Please obey all barricades, even if roads are no longer flooded, to allow crews to assess road stability. It is possible roads were compomised underneath the surface due to rapid flow.
An NC streamgauge on Catawba Creek at E Hudson Blvd crested above Minor Flood Stage at 11.66 feet at 220 PM, but has quickly fallen below Action Stage and bankfull. Earlier nuisance to Minor flooding of the Catawba Creek Greenway near Fern Forest Rd and Union Rd has abated.
- Additional moderate to heavy rainfall is possible into the later afternoon and evening hours as additional showers approach Gaston County from South Carolina. Given antecedent conditions, if additional rainfall develops (generally exceeding 1-2 inches in 60 minutes), more significant flash flooding may occur and a Flash Flood Warning may be issued.
Stay weather aware. 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.
- Some locations that may continue to experience nuisance flooding include...
Gastonia, Bessemer City, South Gastonia, Dallas, Ranlo, and Crowders.
