210 WGUS72 KGSP 272114 FFSGSP Flash Flood Statement National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 514 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026 NCC027-280130- /O.CON.KGSP.FF.W.0006.000000T0000Z-260528T0130Z/ /00000.0.ER.000000T0000Z.000000T0000Z.000000T0000Z.OO/ Caldwell NC- 514 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026 ...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 930 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR NORTH CENTRAL CALDWELL COUNTY... At 514 PM EDT, Doppler radar shows that the earlier training thunderstorms responsible for torrential rainfall and flash-flooding within the Buffalo Cove watershed have moved well outside of the area and weakened. No additional heavy rainfall is expected. However, significant flows are continuing along Buffalo Creek and feeder streams. Impacts to roadways and property are likely ongoing. A storm spotter is reporting water and debris flowing over the intersection of Lick Log Lane and Buffalo Cove Rd near Green Rock Branch. This location is downstream of the more significant rainfall and excessive runoff, suggesting more significant impacts already occurred upstream along Buffalo Creek and several feeder streams, including Field Branch along Old Field Creek Ln, Long Ridge Branch near Cottrell Pl, Joes Creek along CC Camp Rd, Jesse Fork along Stone Mountain Rd. Other impacted areas may include Rippling Creek Pl, Woodward Ln, Douglas Ln, and Camp Carolwood Rd. Please STAY AWAY from creeks and culvert/bridge crossings and avoid all flooded areas. Obey any barricades in place even once flood waters have receded because the road may have been compromised and may still not be safe for travel. It will take at least another 1-2 hours for streams to crest and recede below bankfull levels, with impacts possibly lingering along Buffalo Creek for another hour or so. The Flash Flood Warning will remain in place until streams have receded and Caldwell County Emergency Management confirms the flood threat has ended and it is safe to travel within the area. HAZARD...Life threatening flash flooding. Thunderstorms producing flash flooding. SOURCE...Trained spotters reported. IMPACT...Life-threatening flash flooding along the Buffalo Creek watershed. Expect significant flooding of adjacent low- lying areas, including parks, trails, low-water crossings, boat-access areas, and campgrounds. Flooding of some crawl spaces and basements is possible with potential flooding of first-floors in residences and businesses near streams. Evacuations may be needed. An isolated landslide or two cannot be ruled out. Some locations that will experience flash flooding include... Buffalo Creek valley and associated tributaries in the Buffalo Cove Community. Areas of concern include near Buffalo Cove Road, Stone Mountain Road and Cove Branch Road. PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS... Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood deaths occur in vehicles. In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded roads. Find an alternate route. Flooding is occurring or is imminent. It is important to know where you are relative to streams, rivers, or creeks which can become killers in heavy rains. Campers and hikers should avoid streams or creeks. Heavy rain is increasing the risk of landslides, especially in areas where slides have occurred in the past. Be especially alert if you are near a stream, especially at the base of a mountain or in a cove. Watch for loose-moving soil and rocks or a sudden increase in streamflow. Leave the area quickly if this is observed. When driving along roads where the terrain is steep or rocky, watch and listen for falling rocks, mud, trees, and other debris. && LAT...LON 3609 8158 3612 8161 3612 8155 3610 8152 3610 8150 3610 8148 3609 8148 3609 8147 3609 8146 3608 8145 3607 8144 3608 8143 3607 8142 3601 8152 FLASH FLOOD...OBSERVED FLASH FLOOD DAMAGE THREAT...CONSIDERABLE $$ JMP 744 WGUS72 KGSP 272118 FFSGSP Flash Flood Statement National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC 518 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026 NCC027-280130- /O.CON.KGSP.FF.W.0006.000000T0000Z-260528T0130Z/ /00000.0.ER.000000T0000Z.000000T0000Z.000000T0000Z.OO/ Caldwell NC- 518 PM EDT Wed May 27 2026 ...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 930 PM EDT THIS EVENING FOR NORTH CENTRAL CALDWELL COUNTY...
