ATTENTION/ AREA AFFECTED WFO: ALR RAH 

FORECAST DISCUSSION FOR THE NEUSE BASIN: 

... VERY MINOR FLOOD AT SMITHFIELD ...

AT 11AM EDT...CLAYTON IS VERY CLOSE TO CRESTING 
AROUND 5000 CFS. THIS WATER WILL ROUTE DOWN TO 
SMITHFIELD WHICH IS EXPECTED TO HELP PUSH IT JUST 
OVER FLOOD STAGE OF 15 FEET. SINCE SMITHFIELD 
RECEIVED COMPARITIVELY LITTLE RAIN COMPARED TO 
CLAYTON, THERE WON'T BE ENOUGH LOCAL INFLOW AT 
SMITHFIELD TO ADD MUCH TO THE UPSTREAM ROUTED. 
NOT BIG NEWS...BUT NEWS JUST THE SAME.
