...The Flood Advisory continues for the following rivers in North
Carolina...
Pigeon River At above Old River Rd (NC 215), 1 SW Canton affecting
Haywood County.
.Tropical rainfall will continue to overspread the mountains through
tonight and become heavier. Storm-total rainfall of 4-8 inches is
expected, with isolated higher amounts possible across the upper
Pigeon River watershed upstream of Canton. The highest totals will
occur along the Pisgah ridge and in the Shining Rock and Middle Prong
Wilderness areas within the headwaters of the east and west forks of
the Pigeon River. There remains enough confidence that out-of-bank
conditions are likely for the Pigeon River. This rise above Action
Stage will result in nuisance, relatively shallow flooding of
low-lying areas adjacent to the Pigeon River, including farmland,
woodlands, low-lying secondary roads, greenways, parks, and other
flood-prone locations.
More significant rises along the Pigeon River are possible, and those
with interests along the river are encouraged to stay weather aware
and up-to-date on the latest stream levels and forecasts at
https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/GSP. Current reasonable worst-case
scenarios are posted in the ADDITIONAL DETAILS sections below.
Forecast crests above Minor Flood Stage may result in the River Flood
Advisories being upgraded to River Flood Warnings.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues.
* WHERE...Pigeon River at above Old River Rd (NC 215), 1 SW Canton.
* WHEN...Until late Sunday night.
* IMPACTS...At 8.0 feet, Action/Advisory Stage. Common, nuisance
flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to the Pigeon River is
beginning. Floodwaters are beginning to impact farmland,
woodlands, nurseries, parks, athletic fields, golf courses,
greenways, and boat-access areas with up to 2 feet of inundation.
Low-water crossings may be inundated with up to 2 feet of
floodwater and become impassable. Adjacent campgrounds, mobile
home/RV parks, and secondary roads may experience floodwater
inundation of up to 1 foot.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 10:45 AM EDT Saturday the stage was 1.4 feet.
- Bankfull stage is 10.0 feet.
- Forecast...The river is expected to rise to a crest of 8.5 feet
tomorrow morning. The reasonable worst-case crest would be
around the minor flood stage of 10 feet.
- Action stage is 8.0 feet.
- Flood stage is 10.0 feet.
