Flash Flood Warning

At 822 PM EDT, Heavy rainfall has ended across Cabarrus County. However, storm-total rainfall of 2-4" occurred within a 2- to 3-hour period over the southeastern portion of the county from Georgeville to Midland, resulting in flooding of small streams impacting adjacent low-lying areas including farmland, woodlands, and isolated residential yards and roadways.

Cabarrus County Emergency Management reported the flooding of a few roadways including:

Clydesdale Dr near Saddlebrook Dr and Mustang Dr

NC 27/24 near Riceland Way

Bethel Church Rd near Horton Branch and Robert Bost Rd

Reed Mine Rd near Little Meadow Creek and Hartsell Rd

Please avoid these roadways and obey all barricades, even if flood waters have receded, in order to allow time for crews to assess road/bridge stability following damaging stream flows.

The Flash Flood Warning will remain in effect through 930pm to allow streams to crest and recede and for flood waters to recede. A Flood Advisory may remain in effect through later this evening to account for isolated areas of remnant nuisance flooding.

Additional heavy rainfall from strong thunderstorms is possible later tonight. Given saturated soils and swollen streams, any additional heavy rainfall may cause new areas of flooding to develop. Please stay weather aware and have multiple ways to receive warnings, including via television, cellular phone, and NOAA Weather Radio.
