...THE FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 300 AM EDT FOR
CENTRAL WAKE COUNTY...

At 213 AM EDT, local law enforcement reported flash flooding in
Raleigh. Over 4 inches of rain have fallen. Flash flooding is
already occurring.

Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Raleigh, Cary, Wake Forest, Garner, Rdu International, Apex, Holly
Springs, Morrisville, Knightdale and Lake Wheeler.

Additional rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches are still possible as
additional thunderstorms move into the warned area.

Numerous roads in and around the city of Raleigh have been closed
due to flooding.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding. Do not attempt to travel unless you must do so
to escape the flooding.

Excessive runoff from the heavy rain will cause flash flooding of
creeks and streams, roads, low lying and poor drainage areas. Do not
drive your vehicle into areas where water covers the road. Many roads
and intersections in the area will quickly flood. When encountering
flooded roads, turn around, don't drown.
