Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 3:11 PM EDT on September 5, 2008

... Flash Flood Watch in effect from 11 PM EDT this evening
through Saturday afternoon...

The National Weather Service in Raleigh has issued a

* Flash Flood Watch for a portion of central North Carolina...
including the following areas... Alamance... Chatham...
Davidson... Durham... Edgecombe... Forsyth... Franklin...
Granville... Guilford... Halifax... Johnston... Nash... Orange...
person... Randolph... Sampson... Vance... wake... Warren... Wayne
and Wilson.

* From 11 PM EDT this evening through Saturday afternoon

* as tropical cyclone Hanna approaches... heavy rain will
overspread the area from south to north starting this evening
and continuing into Saturday afternoon. Storm total rainfall
amounts of one and a half to nearly five inches are possible
over central North Carolina... with locally higher amounts. Rain
could fall at a rate of an inch or more per hour... which would
lead to rapid rises on creeks and streams and quick flooding...
especially in low lying... poor drainage... and urban areas.

* Some creeks in this area that could experience flooding include
Buffalo Creek and Silas creek in The Triad area... Crabtree
creek in the Triangle area... and Stoney Creek in the Goldsboro
area.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.
People in this area should monitor later forecasts and area
conditions... and be prepared to take action should flash flood
warnings be issued.
