Flooding may occur in poor drainage and urban areas. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - A plume of tropical moisture will overspread the area and will combine with strong lift and weak to moderate instability to support areas of intense rainfall rates and an accompanying risk of flooding. Total rainfall of 3 to 6 inches are forecast, with locally higher amounts possible. The highest amounts are expected to be where bands of thunderstorms are most persistent. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood

Flood Watch issued October 9 at 2:00PM EDT until October 11 at 2:00PM EDT by NWS Greenville-Spartanburg SC

Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - As Isaias weakens and moves northward through the Mid-South early Saturday, rain will become increasingly likely across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia.

When a severe thunderstorm warning is issued, the storm may produce damaging winds, large hail, dangerous lightning, and heavy rain. In some cases, heavy rainfall produced by a severe storm can also lead to flash flooding. Do not drive vehicles through flooded areas. The water depth or fast flowing water/mud/debris from a flash flood will make road conditions unsafe. Do not rely soley on data presented here or other third-party websites - always check your official national and local weather service agency website, socials, radio and/or TV stations for making critical decisions related to weather events.
