* ADDITIONAL DETAILS…
– Storm total rainfall amounts of 2 to 5 inches…with locally
higher amounts have occurred along the Blue Ridge escarpment
from Henderson County north to Avery County. Flood Warnings
for gradual flood rises are currently in effect for much of
this area. Additional amounts of up to 1.5 inches are
possible before showers taper off during the pre-dawn hours.
Heavier showers and isolated thunderstorms could produce
these amounts in just a couple of hours…which could result
in a transition from slow-rise flooding to flash flooding.

This will not be anywhere near the magnitude of flooding that
occurred during Helene.
