North Central Caldwell County in western North Carolina... * Until 930 PM EDT. * At 350 PM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing heavy rain across the warned area. Between 3 and 5 inches of rain have fallen. Additional rainfall amounts of 1-2 inches are possible in the warned area. Significant flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly. Please seek higher ground NOW and avoid all streams and drainages in the Buffalo Creek watershed! HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing flash flooding. SOURCE...Radar. IMPACT...Life threatening flash flooding of creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses. Significant inundation of roads is possible. Some structures may be flooded. * Some locations that will experience flash flooding include... Buffalo Creek valley and associated tributaries in the Buffalo Cove Community. Areas of concern include near Buffalo Cove Road, Stone Mountain Road and Cove Branch Road. Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route. Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks. Heavy rain is increasing the risk of landslides, especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Be especially alert if you are near a stream, especially at the base of a mountain or in a cove. Watch for loose-moving soil and rocks or a sudden increase in streamflow. Leave the area quickly if this is observed. When driving along roads where the terrain is steep or rocky, watch and listen for falling rocks, mud, trees, and other debris.http://www.weather.govAWIPSidentifierFFWGSPWMOidentifierWGUS52 KGSP 271950flashFloodDetectionRADAR INDICATEDflashFloodDamageThreatCONSIDERABLEBLOCKCHANNELEASBLOCKCHANNELNWEMEAS-ORGWXRVTEC/O.EXT.KGSP.FF.W.0006.000000T0000Z-260528T0130Z/eventEndingTime2026-05-27T21:30:00-04:00WEAHandlingImminent ThreatCMAMtextNWS: FLASH FLOOD WARNING this area til 9:30 PM EDT.
