Emergency Management Weather Tracking

Heavy rain and Flash Flood Warnings have expanded westward across the Sandhills and into the Charlotte Metro area, leading to extremely dangerous driving conditions. Several more inches of rain are possible across the Charlotte Metro area before the rain slowly tapers off this later evening. Travel is discouraged or even impossible across a large portion of the state.

Major river flooding is ongoing across portions of eastern N.C. and many more rivers are forecast to rise above Major Flood Stage over the coming days. The attached document only includes hydrographs of forecast gauges on rivers that are currently expected to reach Major Flood Stage.

For the most current river flooding information, please visit NC FIMAN at (https://fiman.nc.gov/fiman). Some river gauges across eastern N.C. are exceeding historic records and are being over-topped by flood waters. The gauges are Chinquapin and Trenton have exceeded their operational limits.
