WEATHER ALERT
Issue Date: 758 PM EDT Sat Oct 10 2026
FLOOD ADVISORY IN EFFECT UNTIL 8 AM EDT SUNDAY
WHAT
Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected. WHERE
Henderson County in western North Carolina
Western Polk County in western North Carolina
WHEN
Until 800 AM EDT Sunday. IMPACTS
Nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to streams and other poor-drainage areas, including farmland, parks, greenways, boat-access areas, golf courses, underpasses, and parking lots. Isolated, shallow flows over roadways is possible. A few flood-prone, low-water crossings may become impassible. A small culvert washout or two is possible. ADDITIONAL DETAILS
- At 758 PM EDT, At 734 PM EDT, Light to moderate showers are moving from south to north across Henderson County, with heavier showers approaching from the south. Storm-total rainfall of the 3-4 inches have fallen over the past 12 hours. The rainfall has accumulated steadily, allowing soils to slowly saturate and runoff to slowly increase, resulting in steady rises in area streams including Clear Creek, Bat Fork Creek, Mills River, and Mud Creek. Streams are approaching bankfull conditions, and the streamgauge on Mud Creek below N Main St in Henderson County has just exceeded the Action/Advisory Stage of 11.5 feet. At this level, common, nuisance flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to Mud Creek is beginning. The lowest elevations of William H King Memorial Park are beginning to flood and floodwaters are approaching the lowest elevations of the Oklawaha Greenway. At this stage, more expansive lowland flooding with nuisance impacts to adjacent farmland, golf courses, and nurseries is ongoing closer to Erkwood Dr. - Additional rounds of showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop over the next few hours and the threat will persist through the early morning hours on Sunday. These showers and storms will be very efficient at producing heavy rainfall. Soils are saturated and streams are swollen. Therefore, additional heavy rain may quickly create new areas of flooding and cause previous areas of flooding to redevelop. As a result, Flash Flood Warnings may be issued tonight. Caution is advised near any stream or other vulnerable area. Seek higher ground immediately if heavy rain develops. Please have a plan in place should flash flooding develop and do not hesitate to act. Please heed all evacuation orders from Emergency Management officials. - Some locations that may experience nusiance floodinginclude
Hendersonville, Mills River, Fletcher, Flat Rock, Etowah, Mountain Home, Laurel Park, and Saluda.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the dangers of flooding. Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads. && LAT

FLOOD WATCH
Issue Date: 402 PM EDT Sat Oct 10 2026
FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON
WHAT
Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be possible. WHERE
In Northeast Georgia, the following counties: Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun and Stephens. In western North Carolina, the following counties: Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, McDowell, Polk, Rutherford, Haywood, Henderson, Macon, Mitchell, Jackson, Transylvania and Yancey. In Upstate South Carolina, the following counties: Abbeville, Anderson, Central Greenville, Greater Oconee, Greater Pickens, Greenville, Greenwood, Laurens, Spartanburg, and Oconee. WHEN
Through Sunday afternoon. IMPACTS
Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded. ADDITIONAL DETAILS
- As Isaias weakens and moves northward into the lower Ohio Valley, periods of rain will continue. While rainfall rates may decrease in some areas this evening, short bursts of heavy rain are possible through tonight. By Sunday morning, total accumulations of generally 5 to 8 inches are expected along the southeast-facing Blue Ridge Escarpment, with 2 to 5 inches elsewhere in the watch area. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS
A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for rapid onset flooding based on current forecasts. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically flood. Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued. Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been associated with an increased risk of landslides, especially fast-moving debris flows and debris slides. If you live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain, especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm and follow evacuation orders from local officials. Consider postponing travel along mountain roads during the heavy rainfall event. &&
