Flood Watch through Tuesday Morning

The Upstate, western North Carolina and parts of Georgia are under a flood watch through Tuesday morning. A low pressure system will move across the area Monday, bringing heavy rainfall. Several inches of rain are possible. The heaviest rain may produce flooding along streams, creeks and rivers within the watch area. The National Weather Service (NWS) cautions drivers to never drive onto flooded roadways. As little as six inches of water can cause drivers to lose control of their cars. Remember to turn around and not drown. The NWS also advises drivers not to park along streams, creeks and rivers during heavy rainfall. Those areas can flood quickly and with little warning.
