I appreciate it. The storm is still a very long ways away. A lot can happen over the next 48 -60 hours. If we're on the south side of it we'll be fine, but there there's still a chance for it to veer farther west than north and it would be catastrophic for this area. Not wishing anything bad for anyone in SE NC or the OBX, but maybe it won't be as bad as it is looking.

Florence update:

Latest Euro model run brings more rain to East TN. Northeast TN and the mountains could possibly see several inches of rain and some tropical storm force gusts.

Just saw a way to early potential euro model of 8"-12" of rain between Thursday and Tuesday for Asheville and portions of east TN.

Certainly not out of the question for SW NC. Right now, it looks like the heaviest rains in East TN will be in the mountains and Northeast TN. Still some time for things to change, as there is still some uncertainty.

...Threat of Flooding Due to Hurricane Florence Is Increasing...

The latest forecast track for Hurricane Florence from the
National Hurricane Center shows the storm stalling near the
Carolina coasts on Friday before moving westward through South
Carolina during Sunday. This track has the potential to produce
very heavy rainfall over the mountains of western North Carolina.
Heavy rains in these areas would result in sharp rises along
rivers draining out of western North Carolina into east Tennessee,
such as the French Broad, Pigeon, Hiwassee, Little Tennessee, and
Nolichucky Rivers.

Of course, if the remnants of Florence come to impact east
Tennessee more directly during early next week, then the risk of
locally heavy rainfall will spread into east Tennessee and
southwest Virginia.

Keep informed of the latest information on the track of Hurricane
Florence as this flood threat develops.

Most of the tracks of the European model are now in agreement that East Tennessee will get a direct hit by the remnants of Florence.

The Euro is typically the most accurate (so says our weather guy...). Flo needs to go before we head up for the UF butt whoopin.

Update:

Still some uncertainties regarding the exact track of Florence once it reaches East TN, but confidence is increasing that Northeast TN and the mountains could see flooding and wind gusts possibly tropical storm force.

Nice to finally get some decent rain around here. I swear we must be in a drought or close to it. It hasn't rained much at all the past couple months it seems.

...Heavy Rains and Possible Flooding Wednesday through Thursday
in Southeast Tennessee and far Southwest North Carolina...

Showers and thunderstorms will bring heavy rain to Southeast
Tennessee starting Wednesday morning. Storms will slowly move
across the area throughout the day. Another round of storms will
likely impact this same area once again Wednesday night and
Thursday. By Thursday many locations are forecasted to receive 1
to 3 inches of rain, with isolated locations getting over 4 inches
possible.

Some areas in Southeast Tennessee have seen record breaking
rainfall over the past couple of days, especially around the
Chattanooga area, leading to rivers, streams, and lakes having
elevated water levels. Also, ponding of water in low lying areas
continue to remain a problem.

These previous heavy rains combined with additional rainfall may
lead to additional flash flooding over the next couple of days.

There is still some uncertainty on the timing of storms and exact
amounts of rainfall over the next couple of days. We will continue
to monitor this situation and will pass along more information as
the system approaches. There is a possibility of Flood Watches
being issued for at least some parts of the area for the Wednesday
through Thursday.

Stay tuned to NOAA Weather Radio and other local media for
further details or updates.
