Widespread rain with heavier showers associated with the remnants of Tropical Storm Ida will continue to move north northeast across the mountains of northeast Georgia and the western Carolinas early this morning. The rain is beginning to taper off at the western end of Fontana Lake and this decrease in rainfall will slowly progress toward the east through the mid day. However...at 430 am heavy rain continue over the eastern parts of the mountains... from Hendersonville to the northern mountains. Rainfall rates of over a quarter of an inch per hour are common where the heavy rain is occurring. This will keep stream levels very elevated through much of the morning. The possibility of landslides will continue this morning.
