The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a Flash Flood Warning for Alexander County until 900 AM.
At 401 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated increasing rainfall rates, with 1 to 2 inches per hour expected. Many locations had already received 5 to 8 inches of rain over the last 24 hours, saturating the ground and priming things for the next round. Significant flooding appears likely, resulting in road closures, first-floor inundation, and damage to some structures.
The risk of life-threatening landslide activity continues to increase.
