* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– At 1223 AM EDT, Another round of training thunderstorms has
developed across central and western Rabun County and
southwestern Macon County over the past 60 minutes. This has
produced a quick 1-1.5 inches of rainfall over soils already
saturated from heavy rainfall which occurred on Monday.
Storm-total rainfall of 3-6 inches has been observed, which
has caused significant rises on area streams. New rapid
stream rises are imminent, including along Tiger Creek
between Clayton and Lakemont, the headwaters of the Tallulah
River in the Persimmon Creek community, the Little Tennessee
headwaters near Dillard and Otto, and the headwaters of the
Nantahala River near Rainbow Springs. Areas of nuisance
flooding may develop along these streams and associated
tributaries over the next 1-3 hours.

– If heavy rainfall persists over the next 60-90 minutes, a
Flash Flood Warning may be issued. If rapid stream rises are
observed, avoid all adjacent low-lying areas and seek higher
ground. Drivers are urged to avoid any flooded roadways and
Turn Around Don’t Drown.

include…
Clayton, Mountain City, Tiger, Dillard, Sky Valley, Black
Rock Mountain State Park, Lakemont, Otto, and Rainbow
