Peak rainfall rates in excess of 2 in/hr are expected with potential for considerable impacts. DISCUSSION...Regional radar imagery over the Southeast showed an advancing area of heavy rain moving north through south-central GA along with a persistent axis of training heavy rain across the southeast facing slopes of the southern Appalachians/Blue Ridge Mountains. An axis of south to north training has been observed from just south of I-40 near Lake Lure in western NC northward toward the VA/NC border near Damascus. Observed peak rainfall rates have occasionally reached between 2-3 in/hr with rainfall totals for the day of 4 to 6 inches in the vicinity of I-40 between Asheville and Marion. Low level southeasterly winds of 20-30 kt in the 925-850 mb layer are expected to maintain a plume of robust moisture transport into the terrain over the next few hours, with 500-1000 J/kg MLCAPE located just upstream across the Piedmont and adjacent foothills of the mountains. An axis of low level convergence and areas of training are expected to continue across western NC, and though some lower rainfall rates are likely at times, the persistent nature of training will continue a likely threat of flash flooding with locally significant/considerable flash flood impacts possible. Farther south into GA, the northward advancement of heavier rain will be moving into portions of the state which picked up 2 to 3 inches of rain since Wednesday afternoon with an additional inch or two possible by 06Z.
