Major river flooding to inundate eastern parts of the Carolinas this week following Matthew's onslaught

"Following Matthew's excessive rainfall from this past weekend, major flooding will continue along many rivers in the eastern parts of North and South Carolina."

"Many communities that are under water now may remain inundated through the end of this week. Many roads being affected by flooding now will remain closed through the week."

"From 6 to 18 inches of rain fell on the eastern parts of the Carolinas this past weekend. The rainfall was a combination of moisture from Hurricane Matthew and a slow-moving front. Moisture from Matthew and the front converged on the region."

"In areas from Florida to southeastern Virginia that sustained damage from Hurricane Matthew, but where water receded quickly, the weather will cooperate for drying, cleanup and repair operations this week."

"The next chance of any rainfall in Matthew-ravaged areas of the Carolinas and Georgia is not expected to occur until late this weekend or early next week. That rainfall appears highly unlikely to add to flooding."
