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

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

The potential exists for significant flooding as multiple rounds
of rainfall are expected from this morning through Sunday morning,
with heavy rainfall rates possible at times. Total rainfall in
excess of 2 inches is expected in southwest Virginia and the
northern Cumberland Plateau area through Sunday morning. Stream
and river flooding, flooded roads, as well as mud and rock slides
are all possible. A Flood Watch is in effect.

Mountain wave high winds are likely across the Tennessee
mountains and adjacent foothills, where wind gusts up to 70 mph
are possible. In addition, strong wind gusts are expected across
the entire area from midnight tonight until noon Sunday, with
gusts up to 45 mph. This could cause downed trees and power
outages due to saturated grounds.

Southern portions of East Tennessee, including the Chattanooga
area, are highlighted in a Slight Risk for severe thunderstorms
Saturday night. Damaging winds will be the main threat from
thunderstorms.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Sunday through Friday

Significant flooding through Sunday morning is possible with heavy
rainfall. A Flood Watch is in effect until noon Sunday. Strong
wind gusts are expected across the entire area until noon Sunday,
with gusts up to 45 mph in the advisory area and 70 mph in the
east Tennessee mountains and foothills. This could cause downed
trees and power outages due to saturated grounds.

A developing system along the Gulf coast Tuesday night will
spread moisture north into the Tennessee Valley through Wednesday
night. With a colder airmass in place some light snow is expected
across lower elevations and more significant snowfall across the
higher elevations.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Detailed reports of flooding, severe thunderstorm damage and non
thunderstorm high wind damage this weekend will be appreciated.
