Track live forecasts of river flooding ahead of Michael

Just weeks after an onslaught of rainfall from Florence, North Carolina is due for another drenching as Hurricane Michael makes its way across the southeast from the Florida panhandle.

The latest forecasts call for up to six inches of rain through the weekend for the central part of the state. And while that's nowhere near the 30 inches Florence dropped on some areas of North Carolina in September, emergency management officials are closely watching for inland flooding.

U.S. Geological Survey gauges provide live data on the ebbs and flows of rivers across the country. That data feeds into National Weather Service forecasting models predicting water levels up to five days in the future, providing a useful picture of potential flooding as storms move through the North Carolina's river basins.

Take a live look at that forecast data below, updated about every 15 minutes, to see which rivers are predicted to see moderate and major flooding over the next five days in North Carolina. For areas where moderate or major flooding is predicted, the circles indicate the relative height over the flood stage. Data updated  .
