With all of the rain we picked up last night, we do have rivers that will climb into flood stage. Both the Pee Dee rivers are forecast to crest Sunday & Monday in moderate flood stage. The Waccamaw River at Conway is currently forecast to stay below minor flood stage through the rest of the day today.
