PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be prepared to take action
should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

&&

...Localized Flash Flooding Possible Through Wednesday across
East Tennessee...southwest Virginia...and southwest North Carolina...

A stream of tropical moisture will move north from the Gulf into
the Tennessee valley and southern Appalachians through Wednesday.
Periods of showers and embedded thunderstorms can be expected. Due
to the abundant moisture these storms will be capable of producing
excessive rainfall rates. If the storms move across the same
locations, localized flash flooding is possible.

Persons living near streams need stay alert for the potential of
rapid water rise and flash flooding. Localized flooding of low
lying areas and roadway flooding are possible.

Please stay tuned to your NOAA weather radio and favorite radio
and TV stations for the latest forecast and possible flash flood
warnings or advisories in your area.
