THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK IS FOR PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST NORTH
CAROLINA...EAST TENNESSEE AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA.

.DAY ONE...TODAY AND TONIGHT...

A COLD FRONT MOVES INTO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS REGION TODAY AND
STALLS UNTIL SATURDAY. LOCALLY HEAVY RAINS MAY OCCUR TODAY AND
TONIGHT. HOWEVER...RAINFALL AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT HAS BEEN MUCH
LIGHTER THAN EXPECTED...PLUS THE SHOWERS AND STORMS HAVE BEEN
MOVING RAPIDLY NORTHEAST AT 45 MPH THIS MORNING. THIS FAST MOVEMENT
SHOULD INHIBIT SIGNIFICANT FLOODING.


HAZARDOUS WEATHER IS NOT EXPECTED AT THIS TIME.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

A DEEP SOUTHWEST FLOW WILL BRING COPIOUS AMOUNTS OF MOISTURE OVER
THE REGION SUNDAY AND MONDAY. MODERATE TO HEAVY RAIN CAN BE
EXPECTED AT TIMES SUNDAY THROUGH MONDAY. TOTAL RAINFALL AMOUNTS BY
TUESDAY COULD EXCEED 4 INCHES IN SOME AREAS...ESPECIALLY ALONG THE
CUMBERLAND PLATEAU AND SOUTHEAST TENNESSEE. THIS HEAVY RAINFALL
WILL CREATE THE POSSIBILITY FOR FLOODING ALONG RIVERS AND STREAMS
AND OTHER LOW LYING AREAS.

THERE COULD BE SOME BRIEF FREEZING RAIN OVER THE NORTHERN CUMBERLAND
PLATEAU AND SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AS PRECIPITATION MOVES BACK IN
SATURDAY NIGHT...BEFORE THE PRECIP CHANGES TO ALL RAIN.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

SPOTTER ACTIVATION MAY BE NEEDED FOR FLOODING REPORTS BY THE WEEKEND
AND INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK.
