This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...This Afternoon and Tonight

Scattered showers and thunderstorms through this early this
evening then diminishing in coverage and intensity. Localized
flash flooding and damaging wind gusts are the main concerns
within the strongest storms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Saturday

A wet pattern will remain in place with scattered showers and
thunderstorms each day. The greatest coverage of thunderstorms is
expected to be in the afternoon and evening hours. Localized
flooding will be possible with thunderstorms that move slowly or
track repeatedly over the same locations, and damaging wind gusts
will be possible with the strongest thunderstorms.

Be especially careful when camping due to the wet ground. The wet
soil increases the likelihood of down trees.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter reports of flooding or wind damage are encouraged.
