Tropical Depression Florence is centered at 11 a.m. EDT inland over South Carolina about 40 miles (65 km) west of Columbia.

Some weakening is forecast during the next 48 hours.
Florence is expected to produce heavy and excessive rainfall in the following areas...
Southeastern...Central and western North Carolina, far northern South Carolina into far southwest Virginia, southeastern North Carolina and far northeast South Carolina: Additional 3 to 6 inches of rain...with isolated maximum of 8 inches possible...with storm total accumulations of 30 to 40 inches likely. These rainfall amounts will produce catastrophic flash flooding and prolonged significant river flooding.
Central and Western North Carolina, far northern South Carolina and far southwest Virginia: Additional 5 to 10 inches of rain, with storm total accumulations of 15 to 20 inches likely. These rainfall amounts will produce flash flooding and an elevated risk for landslides in western North Carolina and far southwest Virginia.
