...ACCUMULATING ICE AND SLEET POSSIBLE WEDNESDAY NIGHT INTO THURSDAY MORNING ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN NORTH CAROLINA... .A deep low pressure system moving east from the plains states will send abundant moisture into the region atop a wedge of surface-based cold air Wednesday night. This setup will be favorable for not only heavy precipitation, but also the development of freezing rain and sleet - especially over the central and northern Blue Ridge mountains and the adjacent foothills. Heavy accumulations of freezing rain and sleet could lead to power outages and hazardous travel conditions. ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. The precipitation will be predominately freezing rain, but it may mix with rain and sleet at times. Total ice accumulations from freezing rain may reach one-quarter inch, with isolated pockets possibly approaching one-half inch of ice along the immediate eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains. Total sleet accumulations may range from one-tenth to one-half inch, especially just east of the Blue Ridge. * WHERE...Locations along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains and the immediately adjacent foothills of western North Carolina. * WHEN...From Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Sleet accumulations may make roads treacherous. Travel may be quite hazardous in impacted areas. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute on Thursday.

...A ROUND OF HEAVY RAINFALL WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MAY PRODUCE FLOODING ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA... .A deep low pressure system moving east from the plains will produce a southeasterly fetch of abundant Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic moisture starting Wednesday, peaking on Wednesday night, and slowly diminishing on Thursday. Very wet ground conditions, along with currently high stream levels, will heighten the risk of flooding across the region through the period. While some of the precipitation may fall as an icy mix, across portions of western North Carolina, especially Wednesday night, enough rain could fall to produce some flooding there as well. ...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING... The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a * Flood Watch for portions of northeast Georgia, North Carolina, and upstate South Carolina, including the following areas, in northeast Georgia, Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun, and Stephens. In North Carolina, Alexander, Avery, Buncombe, Burke Mountains, Cabarrus, Caldwell Mountains, Catawba, Cleveland, Davie, Eastern McDowell, Eastern Polk, Gaston, Greater Burke, Greater Caldwell, Greater Rutherford, Henderson, Iredell, Lincoln, Macon, McDowell Mountains, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Polk Mountains, Rowan, Rutherford Mountains, Southern Jackson, Transylvania, Union, and Yancey. In upstate South Carolina, Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Chester, Greater Greenville, Greater Oconee, Greater Pickens, Greenville Mountains, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee Mountains, Pickens Mountains, Spartanburg, Union, and York. * from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening * A deep low pressure system over the plains will bring abundant Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico moisture to the southeast Wednesday into Thursday. Widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches will be possible across much of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia during the period, with the bulk of the heavy rain falling on Wednesday night. * This heavy rainfall will impact locations that received 2 to 4 inches of rain on Monday. The ground remains saturated and stream levels across the region are running quite high. This could lead to more widespread flooding along rivers and streams than observed with the Monday system.

Heavy accumulations of freezing rain and sleet could lead to power outages and hazardous travel conditions. ...WINTER STORM WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY EVENING THROUGH THURSDAY AFTERNOON... * WHAT...Heavy mixed precipitation possible. The precipitation will be predominately freezing rain, but it may mix with rain and sleet at times. Total ice accumulations from freezing rain may reach one-quarter inch, with isolated pockets possibly approaching one-half inch of ice along the immediate eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains. Total sleet accumulations may range from one-tenth to one-half inch, especially just east of the Blue Ridge. * WHERE...Locations along the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge mountains and the immediately adjacent foothills of western North Carolina. * WHEN...From Wednesday evening through Thursday afternoon. * ADDITIONAL DETAILS...Power outages and tree damage are likely due to the ice. Sleet accumulations may make roads treacherous. Travel may be quite hazardous in impacted areas. The hazardous conditions could impact the morning commute on Thursday.

...A ROUND OF HEAVY RAINFALL WEDNESDAY INTO THURSDAY MAY PRODUCE FLOODING ACROSS THE WESTERN CAROLINAS AND NORTHEAST GEORGIA... .A deep low pressure system moving east from the plains will produce a southeasterly fetch of abundant Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic moisture starting Wednesday, peaking on Wednesday night, and slowly diminishing on Thursday. Very wet ground conditions, along with currently high stream levels, will heighten the risk of flooding across the region through the period. While some of the precipitation may fall as an icy mix, across portions of western North Carolina, especially Wednesday night, enough rain could fall to produce some flooding there as well. ...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON THROUGH THURSDAY EVENING... The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued a * Flood Watch for portions of northeast Georgia, North Carolina, and upstate South Carolina, including the following areas, in northeast Georgia, Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun, and Stephens. In North Carolina, Alexander, Avery, Buncombe, Burke Mountains, Cabarrus, Caldwell Mountains, Catawba, Cleveland, Davie, Eastern McDowell, Eastern Polk, Gaston, Greater Burke, Greater Caldwell, Greater Rutherford, Henderson, Iredell, Lincoln, Macon, McDowell Mountains, Mecklenburg, Mitchell, Polk Mountains, Rowan, Rutherford Mountains, Southern Jackson, Transylvania, Union, and Yancey. In upstate South Carolina, Abbeville, Anderson, Cherokee, Chester, Greater Greenville, Greater Oconee, Greater Pickens, Greenville Mountains, Greenwood, Laurens, Oconee Mountains, Pickens Mountains, Spartanburg, Union, and York. * from Wednesday afternoon through Thursday evening * A deep low pressure system over the plains will bring abundant Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico moisture to the southeast Wednesday into Thursday. Widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches will be possible across much of the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia during the period, with the bulk of the heavy rain falling on Wednesday night. * This heavy rainfall will impact locations that received 2 to 4 inches of rain on Monday. The ground remains saturated and stream levels across the region are running quite high. This could lead to more widespread flooding along rivers and streams than observed with the Monday system.
