| Brief Description | Flash Flood Warning | |
| Detailed Description | At 1236 PM EDT, Doppler radar and automated gauges indicate moderate to heavy rainfall across eastern portions of Mecklenburg County affecting the McAlpine and Fourmile Creek watersheds. As a result, 1 to 1.5 inches of rainfall has occurred over the past 60 minutes, resulting in storm-total rainfall between 2.5 and 3.5 inches across eastern Mecklenburg County. Therefore, McMullen Creek, McAlpine Creek, Irvins Creek, Fourmile Creek, and adjacent feeder streams, which are already running high from earlier rainfall, are starting to rapidly rise once again. Expect areas of nuisance to Minor flooding to develop in these watersheds over the next 60-90 minutes as streams exceed their banks. * Areas of developing concern include: 1) McMullen Creek from Sharon Memorial Park, along the McMullen Creek Greenway, to Addison Dr, Arborway, and Colony Rd. 2) Irvins Creek from Idlwild Rd to Sam Newell Rd and along the Irvins Creek Greenway. 3) McAlpine Creek along the McAlpine Creek Greenway and near Monroe Rd to Old Providence Rd to Colony Rd. 4) Fourmile Creek along the Fourmile Creek Greenway. * Across the remainder of southern Mecklenburg County, storm-total rainfall over the past 6-8 hours has exceeding 3-5 inches across much of southern Mecklenburg County. The heaviest rainfall has occurred along Little Sugar Creek, where isolated totals of 5-5.5" have been observed, including near Starmount Forest and Sedgefield. Flash flooding is ongoing with additional areas of flooding expected to develop, especially downstream of primary streams in the southern Charlotte metro area. Ongoing flooding may worsen over the next 1-2 hours as the heaviest rain finally departs the metro area. * Areas of ongoing concern include: 1) along Little Sugar Creek and feeder drainages from near 36th Street to Medical Center Drive to Hillsdale Ave and Seneca Place. 2) along Steele Creek and feeder drainages near John Price Rd, Arrowood Mobile Home Park, and Carowinds Blvd. 3) along Briar Creek and feeder drainages from near Shamrock Dr to Independence Blvd to Colony Rd. HAZARD. Life-threatening flash flooding. Heavy rain producing flash flooding. SOURCE. Radar and automated gauges. IMPACT. Life-threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses. Impacts to structures adjacent to drainages and streams are possible, and residents and businesses are urged to move away from streams. Some locations that may experience flash flooding include. Uptown Charlotte, Central Charlotte, South Charlotte, Southwest Charlotte, East Charlotte, Northeast Charlotte, Northwest Charlotte, Matthews, Mint Hill, Pineville, Marvin, Southpark, Freedom Park, The Arboretum, The Plaza, Hidden Valley, Carowinds, Paw Creek and Steele Creek. The heaviest rainfall is moving through the southern parts of Charlotte, including from Pineville to Matthews, and will depart the area over the next 30-45 minutes from west to east. Expect flooding headwaters to crest and for conditions to gradually improve after noon (closer to 2pm for eastern areas of Mecklenburg County) with the resultant floodwave impacting downstream locations closer to the SC state line over the next 1-4 hours. The Flash Flood Warning will remain in effect until most streams have crested and conditions have significantly improved, with only nuisance flooding remaining. Isolated areas of Moderate flooding, with significant inundation of flood-prone roads and a few structural impacts, are still possible over the next 1-2 hours. Drivers are urged to exercise extreme caution and obey all barricades. Residents and businesses are urged to protect life and move away from streams. |
