RALEIGH, N.C. (WNCN) -- On the heels of Tropical Storm Debby, a flood warning was issued Sunday evening for southern Cumberland County and southeastern Hoke County, the National Weather Service in Raleigh said.
The flood warning, which was issued at 7:35 p.m., comes amid a flood watch for various counties in southeastern North Carolina.
The warning, which expires at 11 p.m., said that up to 2 inches of rain had already fallen in the warning area -- and up to 2 more inches of rain is possible.
"Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin shortly," the warning said.
The flooding will likely impact small creeks and streams, urban areas, highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor drainage and low-lying areas, the National Weather Service said.
More than 140 roads in North Carolina are still closed Sunday evening -- many of them flooded -- from when Debby dumped nearly 10 inches of rain in the central part of the state last week.
Towns and cities impacted by the flood warning include Fayetteville, Antioch, Hope Mills, Vander, Cedar Creek, Rockfish and Bushy Lake Natural Area.
Specific flood-prone areas are also likely to flood and include Blounts Creek near Robeson St, Little Rockfish Creek in Hope Mills, Big Sandy Run at U.S. 301 south of Fayetteville, Hope Mills Road and Camden Road and Rockfish Road at Gully Branch.
