This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...Today through Friday

...Remnants of Hurricane Helene expected to impact the Tennessee
Valley and Southern Appalachians Thursday and Friday...

...A Tropical Storm Warning is in effect for Cherokee and Clay
Counties in North Carolina through Friday...

...High Wind Watch in effect for all of East Tennessee and
southwest Virginia for Thursday Night to Friday Evening...

...High Wind Warning is in effect for East Tennessee Mountains and
Foothills to Thursday Night to Friday Evening...

...A Flood Watch is in Effect for Flash Flooding Across Portions
of East Tennessee, southwest Virginia, and southwest North
Carolina...

Steady rain expected to overspread much of the region today. Any
additional heavy rainfall may lead to flash flooding.

The remnants of Hurricane Helene will quickly move north from
the Florida coast midday today, into northern Georgia by early
Friday morning. Rain intensity may waver at times today, and
perhaps a lull in northeastern TN late on Thursday as a rain
shadow effect appears, but additional heavy rains area are expected
Thursday night into Friday morning as the remnants of Helene move
through the region.

In addition to the rain, strong winds are forecast. The highest
winds are expected across the higher elevations of the east TN,
southwest VA, southwest NC mountains, and Cumberland Plateau.
However strong pressure gradients will exist across the region and
thus the lower elevations of the Tennessee valley will likely
experience some high winds Friday morning. With soils incredibly
saturated, trees are likely to fall during this period of high
winds.

.DAYS THREE THROUGH SEVEN...Saturday through Wednesday

No additional hazardous weather is expected at this time.
Flood waters will be receding and may still pose a threat before
streams retreat back within their banks.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Reports of wind damage or flooding is very appreciated.
