.Multiple rounds of heavy rainfall this week have produced enough
runoff to bring minor flooding to Youngs Creek at Amity and the
lower White from Spencer downstream to Petersburg over the next few

Monday. Additional rainfall this weekend and next week could both

so people with interests along area rivers should monitor updated
forecasts and warnings.
