LOOKS LIKE GOOD PVA AND SFC CONVERGENCE COMING INTO THE ERN SLOPES OF THE NC/SC MTNS TNGT. ATTM PCPN OVER THE MTNS AND UPSTATE IS WIDESPREAD...BUT INTENSITY HAS SHOWN A BIT OF DECREASE. HOWEVER...THINK THAT AS THE EVENING WEARS ON...CONVECTION SHOULD REFIRE IN UPSLOPE AREAS NE OF THE LOW CENTER. AS A RESULT...PLAN ON ISSUING A FLASH FLOOD WATCH FOR THE SRN NC MTNS...WRN SC UPSTATE AND NE GA. WON/T PUSH INTO THE FRENCH BROAD VALLEY OR THE NC FOOTHILLS AS CONVECTION IS MOVING MORE QUICKLY THESE ZONES. PREVIOUS SHIFT HAD LIKELY POPS W TUE AND CHANCE E.

AN UNSEASONABLY STRONG UPPER LEVEL LOW WILL DRIFT SLOWLY WEST ACROSS THE REGION THIS AFTERNOON. LAST NIGHT...THIS SAME LOW BROUGHT AS MUCH AS 6 INCHES OF RAIN TO THE CAROLINA PIEDMONT. AS THE ATMOSPHERE HEATS UP THIS AFTERNOON...WIDESPREAD SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL DEVELOP. THE STORMS WILL MOVE VERY SLOWLY. IN FACT...STORMS WHICH DEVELOP IN THE MOUNTAINS AND FOOTHILLS MAY NOT MOVE AT AT ALL. THUS THE POTENTIAL EXISTS FOR SOME LOCATIONS TO RECEIVE SEVERAL INCHES OF RAIN LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. A FLASH FLOOD WATCH HAS NOT BEEN ISSUED AS THE AREAS WHERE HEAVY RAIN APPEARS MOST LIKELY HAVE NOT SEEN VERY HEAVY RAINFALL OVER THE PAST 24 HOURS. HOWEVER...IF HEAVY RAIN DOES DEVELOP...WATCHES MAY BE NEED FOR PARTS OF THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA. IN ADDITION TO THE HEAVY RAIN...COLD AND RATHER DRY AIR ALOFT WILL ALLOW SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS TO PRODUCE DAMAGING WINDS AND HAIL UP TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS. SPOTTER GROUPS SHOULD BE PREPARED TO ACTIVATE QUICKLY LATE THIS AFTERNOON AND THIS EVENING. DISPATCHERS SHOULD ENSURE COUNTY EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT OFFICIALS ARE AWARE OF THIS INFORMATION. MCAVOY
