At 556 PM EST, Doppler radar indicated the leading edge of a cluster
of thunderstorms along a line extending from 12 miles east of
Franklin to 17 miles north of Walhalla to 8 miles south of Clayton,
and moving east at 60 mph.
Locations to be impacted include...
Brevard, Walhalla, Highlands, Rosman, Cashiers, Salem, Lake Toxaway,
Jocassee Gorges, Looking Glass and Devils Fork State Park.
Wind gusts up to 45 mph, pea size hail and very heavy rainfall rates
up to 2 inches per hour will be possible in these areas.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
The combination of gusty winds and saturated soil conditions will
cause scattered trees and power lines to fall. Seek shelter inside an
interior room.
Torrential rainfall may flood areas with poor drainage, such as
ditches and underpasses. Avoid these areas and do not cross flooded
roads. Water levels of small streams may also rise rapidly. Seek
higher ground if threatened by flood waters.
