During a flood, water levels and the rate at which the water is flowing can quickly change. Get to higher ground. Do not drive or walk into water. It only takes 6 inches of water to knock you off your feet. Link: weather.gov/safety/flood #scwx #ncwx #gawx

A stalled front across #gawx #scwx #ncwx will interact with the remnants of TS Arthur to produce locally heavy rain, mainly Thu night. Most of this rain could fall within 1 to 3 hours, and if so could lead to rapid rises on small streams and isolated areas of flash flooding.

PTC 1 became organized enough this morning to be designated Tropical Storm Arthur. This doesn't change the expected impacts for NC/SC/GA. We're closely evaluating the potential for severe storms or flash flooding in our area, mainly SE of I-85. #ncwx #scwx #gawx
