AREAS AFFECTED: Lincoln, NC
DESCRIPTION: FFWGSP The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a * Flash Flood Warning for... Central Lincoln County in the piedmont of North Carolina... * Until 1145 PM EDT. * At 850 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated rain gauges indicated heavy rain is ongoing due to multiple slow-moving thunderstorm cells extending west to east to northeast from Crouse to Lincolnton to Boger City. Between 2.5 and 4 inches of rain has fallen over the past 60-90 minutes. Enough additional rainfall has occurred since a Flood Advisory was issued to require a Flash Flood Warning, as more significant flooding could be developing across areas near and including Lincolnton and Boger City. * Areas of greatest concern include along small streams near Huss St, Walker Branch near N Aspen St and N Flint St, Lithia Inn Branch near Jerry Crump Rd and Jonas Dr. Clarks Creek near Clarks Creek Rd and Jeb Seagle Dr may also rise out of its banks. Significant flooding of adjacent low-lying areas is possible with isolated impact to structures. HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms. SOURCE...Radar and automated gauges. IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas. * Some locations that may experience flash flooding include... Lincolnton, Boger City, Iron Station and Crouse. The heaviest rainfall is slowly moving south of Lincolnton and east of Boger City. However, it will take at least another 30-60 minutes for streams to crest and recede and the flood threat will linger for at least another 1-2 hours. Please avoid all streams and flooded roadways.
INSTRUCTION: Move to higher ground now. Act quickly to protect your life. 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.

Next Topic: Evaporation
Drizzle is precipitation in the form of water droplets which are
smaller than raindrops.
Drizzle is characterized by fine, gently falling droplets and typically does not
impact human habitation in a negative way. The exception to this is freezing drizzle,
a condition where drizzle freezes immediately upon reaching earth's surface.
Freezing drizzle is still less dangerous than freezing rain, but can
potentially result in hazardous road conditions.

Next Topic: Fractus Clouds
Fog is technically a type of stratus cloud, which lies along the
ground and obscures visibility.
It is usually created when humidity in the air condenses into tiny water droplets.
Because of this, some places are more prone to foggy weather, such as regions
close to a body of water.
Fog is similar to mist; both are the appearance of water droplets suspended in
the air, but fog is the term applied to the condition when visibility is less than 1 km.
