Area forecast discussion, Feb 11, 10:02 AM EST, 16 minutes before
Area Forecast Discussion
National Weather Service Morristown TN
1002 AM EST Sun Feb 11 2018

.DISCUSSION...
Update to adjust some PoP over the next few hours. Rain has
tapered off in most of the Valley areas, while it continues in
Northeast Tennessee/Southwest Virginia. There will still be rain
chances through the rest of today, but showers will become more
scattered in nature, causing some places to possibly miss out on
noteworthy rain the rest of the day. Clouds in the western portion
of the area are showing some breaks, which could cause a quicker
rise in temperatures through today.

This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of Southwest North
Carolina...East Tennessee and Southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

...Periods of Heavy Rain and Flooding Today...

...Flood Watch is in effect through Today for east Tennessee,
southwest Virginia, and southwest North Carolina...

...Windy Conditions across the Mountains through Early
Afternoon...

A strong, slowly progressing storm system and associated frontal
boundary will continue to produce a very moist southerly flow over
the Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachians today.

The Gulf moisture will contribute to periods of rain,
occasionally heavy with a chance of thunderstorms today. Flooding
has been reported across parts of southwest Virginia, Plateau, and
western sections of the Tennessee Valley. The worst hit areas so
far has been Wise and Lee Counties of Virginia.

The periods of heavy rain, especially this morning, may produce
additional flooding of low-lying areas, street flooding, and
stream and river flooding.

Gusty winds reaching to near 50 mph are also possible across the
mountains through early afternoon.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Monday through Saturday

...Another Round of Moderate to Heavy Rains Possible Wednesday
through Thursday Night...

Another slow moving frontal boundary will move across the
Tennessee Valley and southern Appalachains Wednesday through
Thursday Night. This system may produce another round of moderate
to heavy rain. Since the ground will be saturated, any additional
moderate to heavy rains may produce flooding problems.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation will not be needed.
