Flash Flood Watch
Statement as of 9:09 PM EDT on September 5, 2008

... Flash Flood Watch remains in effect from 2 am EDT Saturday
through Saturday evening...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* portions of north central North Carolina and Virginia...
including the following areas... in north central North
Carolina... Caswell and Rockingham. In Virginia... Amherst...
Appomattox... Buckingham... Campbell... Charlotte... Halifax and
Pittsylvania.

* From 2 am EDT Saturday through Saturday evening

* periods of heavy rain are expected across the area late tonight
into Saturday. With the current forecast track and speed of
Hanna... the heaviest rain will likely occur late tonight into
Saturday morning. At this time... 2 to 4 inches of rain appears
likely. With a slower or more westward track... even heavier
amounts are possible. Flash flood guidance indicates that 3 to 4
inches of rain in less than 6 hours may begin to cause flood
problems.

* With periods of heavy rain developing overnight... creeks and
streams will likely be rising toward morning. Periods of
torrential rain are possible in tropical rain bands. If this
occurs after creeks and streams are rising... flash flooding
would occur quickly.

A Flash Flood Watch means that conditions may develop that lead
to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should flash flood warnings be issued.
