Heavy Rain, Flash Flooding Possible Friday & Saturday around WNC

I am becoming increasingly concerned about the threat for flash flooding around WNC this afternoon and tomorrow around WNC. A stalled frontal boundary has inundated the South and a large swath of moisture is currently moving across Tennessee. This will eventually make it to WNC. Isolated locations could see 2”+ of rain fall very quickly. Many locations already have saturated ground so this will make for a dangerous situation as rain continue to fall. Storm could also train over some areas and that will enhance flooding. Below you see the most recent NAM 3km model precipitation depiction.

Models Vary, Heavy Swath of Rain Possible Around WNC

Short range models are really struggling with the variation in precipitation around the area. It appears to me as though isolated heavy rain bands are going to pop up this afternoon and right now it appears they favor the northern portion of Buncombe County. Some models show over 2” of rain falling very quickly. Isolated flash flooding will happen quickly where these storms develop so please do not proceed into flood covered roadways!
