Charleston SC-

...FLOOD WARNING IN EFFECT UNTIL 10 PM EDT THIS EVENING...
...REPLACES FLASH FLOOD WARNING...

* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is expected.

* WHERE...A portion of southeast South Carolina, including the
following county, Charleston.

* WHEN...Until 1000 PM EDT.

* IMPACTS...Numerous roads remain closed due to flooding. Expect
many areas of slow moving or standing water. It will take several
hours for all the water from these storms to work through local
drainage systems in urban areas.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- At 625 PM EDT, emergency management officials continued to
report road closures across much of the Downtown Charleston
area from earlier flooding rains. Drainage of flood waters
will become increasingly hampered as high tide approaches in
the Charleston Harbor, which will occur shortly after 830 PM.
Tide levels are expected to peak in the 7.0 to 7.2 ft mean
lower low water range which, in itself, would typically
produce salt water flooding in parts of Downtown Charleston.
The combination of ongoing fresh water flooding and
increasing saltwater flooding will likely produce additional
road closures and other impacts across the Downtown area.
- Some locations that will experience flooding include...
Downtown Charleston, Marion Square, Medical University Of
South Carolina, Columbus Street Terminal and The Citadel.
- This includes I-26 near mile marker 221.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the
dangers of flooding.
