...FLASH FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT THROUGH THIS EVENING...

The Flash Flood Watch continues for

* Portions of western North Carolina and upstate South Carolina, 
  including the following areas, in western North Carolina, Avery, 
  Buncombe, Burke Mountains, Caldwell Mountains, Eastern McDowell, 
  Eastern Polk, Greater Burke, Greater Caldwell, Greater Rutherford, 
  Henderson, McDowell Mountains, Mitchell, Polk Mountains, 
  Rutherford Mountains, Southern Jackson, Transylvania and Yancey. 
  In upstate South Carolina, Greenville Mountains, Oconee Mountains 
  and Pickens Mountains.

* Through this evening.

* A plume of sub-tropical moisture will move across the region, 
  mainly through the early afternoon. A southeasterly upslope flow 
  will aid in the development of periods of heavy rain, especially 
  along and near the Blue Ridge Escarpment in North Carolina. 
  Rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches are possible by sunset across the 
  Watch area.

* With the amount of rainfall expected, rapid rises will occur along 
  smaller creeks and streams, with some likely overflowing their 
  banks into low-lying areas and roads. Minor mainstem river 
  flooding can't be ruled out. Urban flooding will be possible as 
  well, mainly in poor drainage and low-lying areas.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Rainfall of up to three inches could be enough to cause some slope 
failures near the Blue Ridge Escarpment. Be careful when driving 
along mountain roads. As always, never attempt to drive through 
flooded roadways, especially where water is flowing over the roadway.
