Flood Advisory

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.

* WHERE...East Central Greenville County in upstate South Carolina... West Central Spartanburg County in upstate South Carolina...

* WHEN...Until 1045 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 be impassible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - At 855 PM EDT, Heavy rainfall has departed Greenville and Spartanburg counties. However, storm-total rainfall of 1.5-3" occurred along the South Tyger River watershed from Lake Robinson to Greer. This was enough rainfall to cause excessive runoff and significant rises on small streams feeding the South Tyger River, including Frohawk Creek near Sharon Dr, Clear Creek near SC 101 and W McElhaney Rd, and other small streams feeding Lake Cunningham near Lake Cunningham Rd, N James Rd, and Brown Rd. The Flood Advisory will remain in effect through 10pm to allow high stream flows and any adjacent nuisance flooding to recede. Please avoid area streams and flooded 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.

- Some locations that may continue to experience nuisance flooding include...northern Greer and areas around Lake Cunningham. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
