Full Notification

* At 520 PM EST, Rainfall accumulations of 3-5 inches Friday over
the headwaters of the Catawba River, Johns River, Lower Creek, and
associated tributaries has caused high flows and increasing lake
pool elevations along the upper Catawba River. Pool elevations at
Lake James, Lake Rhodhiss, and Lookout Shoals Lake are increasing
above the full pool of 100.0 feet. Shoreline flooding and
flooding of lake access areas, campgrounds, docks, residential
yards, and swimming areas will be increasingly likely as pool
elevations will continue to rise overnight tonight into Saturday.
Caution is advised anywhere near such areas through the weekend as
pools remain above full pool.

* The latest pool elevations for the upper Catawba River lakes are
as follows (Full Pool is 100.0 feet):
Lake James: 100.40 feet and rising steadily.
Lake Rhodhiss: 102.16 feet and rising steadily.
