Interstate 85 corridor will see scattered to numerous showers
this afternoon. Additional rainfall amounts may range from a
half inch near the Savannah River to a inch or more across the

* Flooding is already in progress across portions western

main effects will be along smaller streams and urbanized
areas... minor flooding is expected to develop later today across
upper portions of the French Broad River in North Carolina. In
mountainous or hilly terrain... rainfall amounts of 5 inches or
more over a large area lead to a significant increase in
landslide threat on an isolated to scattered basis.

to flash flooding. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation.

A Wind Advisory remains in effect until 7 am EST Thursday.

Sustained winds of 15 to 25 mph... with gusts as high as 40 mph...
will continue today and tonight across the Piedmont and much of the
foothills of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. These
gusty winds... combined with saturated soil from the ongoing
rainfall... will likely cause a number of trees to become uprooted
across the advisory area.

Precautionary/preparedness actions...

This Wind Advisory has been issued because gusty winds are
expected to cause quite a few trees to fall due to saturated
soil. This may result in scattered power outages.

A record rainfall of 2.42 inches was set at the
