THIS MORNING. ISOLATED FLOODING IS POSSIBLE IF THE HEAVY RAIN DOES
DEVELOP.

A COLD FRONT WILL CROSS THE REGION FROM THE WEST TONIGHT. WINDY
CONDITIONS WILL AFFECT THE HIGHER RIDGE TOPS AHEAD OF THIS FRONT
ACROSS THE NORTH CAROLINA MOUNTAINS THURSDAY EVENING. AS THE COLD
FRONT SWEEPS THROUGH OVERNIGHT...ADDITIONAL THUNDERSTORMS MAY
DEVELOP ALONG A LINE AHEAD OF THE FRONT. BRIEF DAMAGING WIND GUSTS
WILL BE THE MAIN THREAT WITH ANY OF THESE THUNDERSTORMS THAT
DEVELOP. THE GREATEST RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE ACROSS
EXTREME NORTHEAST GEORGIA...UPSTATE SOUTH CAROLINA...AND NORTH
CAROLINA PIEDMONT LOCATIONS. ADDITIONAL HEAVY RAINFALL IS POSSIBLE
WITH THESE STORMS.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...FRIDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY.
