FLOODING IN URBAN AND POOR DRAINAGE AREAS WILL OCCUR DUE TO THE

GREENSBORO, WINSTON-SALEM, DURHAM, HIGH POINT, CHAPEL HILL,
BURLINGTON, ASHEBORO, LEXINGTON, HENDERSON AND GRAHAM.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

MINOR FLOODING OF CREEKS, STREAMS, AND AREAS OF POOR DRAINAGE.
DRIVERS ARE URGED TO SLOW DOWN AND USE EXTRA CAUTION TO AVOID
HYDROPLANING, ESPECIALLY IN URBAN AREAS WHERE PROLONGED HEAVY RAIN
CAN QUICKLY LEAD TO FLOODING.
