(Redirected from Flash Flood Warning) A flash flood warning (SAME code: FFW) is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring in the warned area. A flash flood is a sudden, violent flood after a heavy rain, or occasionally after a dam break. Rainfall intensity and duration, topography, soil conditions, and ground cover contribute to flash flooding.
Flood Warning System. The National Weather Service has developed a flood warning system for areas in the Reedy River and Richland Creek floodplains. The flood warning system is intended to provide up to a two-hour advanced warning of a flood hazard. Warnings will be disseminated by local radio stations, including WFBC, WESC and WSSL.
