...FLOOD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM 8 AM EDT THIS MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY AFTERNOON...

* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall continues to be
  possible.

* WHERE...Portions of northeast Georgia, including the following
  areas, Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun and Stephens,
  western North Carolina, including the following areas, Avery,
  Buncombe, Burke Mountains, Caldwell Mountains, Eastern McDowell,
  Eastern Polk, Greater Burke, Greater Caldwell, Greater Rutherford,
  Haywood, Henderson, Macon, McDowell Mountains, Mitchell, Northern
  Jackson, Polk Mountains, Rutherford Mountains, Southern Jackson,
  Transylvania and Yancey, and Upstate South Carolina, including the
  following areas, Greater Oconee, Greenville Mountains, Oconee
  Mountains and Pickens Mountains.

* WHEN...From 8 AM EDT this morning through Sunday afternoon.

* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,
  creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations.
  Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings
  may be flooded.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - As Isaias weakens and moves northward through the Mid-South early
    this morning, rain will become increasingly likely across the
    western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Periods of rain may
    begin over the watch area before daybreak, though rainfall rates
    will initially be light. Rainfall rates will increase during the
    day, and heavy rain is most likely this afternoon through early
    Sunday morning, particularly along the south and east facing Blue
    Ridge Escarpment, that is, near the southern border of North
    Carolina west of I-26, and in the sharp terrain from near Saluda
    to Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. A slow-moving band of
    heavy rain may move across northeast Georgia and the Upstate of
    South Carolina late this afternoon and this evening.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for rapid
onset flooding based on current forecasts. Flash flooding is a very
dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically flood.
Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action
quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.

Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been
associated with an increased risk of landslides, especially
fast-moving debris flows and debris slides. If you live on a
mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain, especially near
a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm and follow
evacuation orders from local officials. Consider postponing travel
along mountain roads during the heavy rainfall event.

Flood Advisory
National Weather Service Greenville-Spartanburg SC
1208 AM EDT Sat Oct 10 2026

...The National Weather Service in Greenville-Spartanburg has issued
a Flood Advisory for the following rivers in North Carolina...

  Pigeon River above Old River Rd (NC 215), 1 SW Canton affecting
  Haywood County.

.Heavy rainfall from the remnants of Hurricane Isaias will result in
excessive runoff and significant rises on streams within the upper
Pigeon River watershed.  Rainfall will develop overnight tonight,
intensify during the day on Saturday, and maintain intensity
overnight Saturday before tapering off by early Sunday morning.
Storm-total rainfall of 4-9 inches is expected, with isolated 10-11
inches possible, across the upper Pigeon River watershed, generally
upstream of Canton.  The highest totals will occur along the Pisgah
ridge and in the Shining Rock and Middle Prong Wilderness areas
within the headwaters of the east and west forks of the Pigeon River,
respectively.  While there continues to be some uncertainty regarding
the timing and amounts of the heaviest rainfall, there is enough
confidence in the current forecast that out-of-bank conditions are
likely for the Pigeon River.  Therefore, a River Flood Advisory has
been issued for the reach near Canton, with a crest above Action
Stage expected Sunday morning.  A rise above Action Stage will result
in nuisance, relatively shallow flooding of low-lying areas adjacent
to the Pigeon River, including farmland, woodlands, low-lying
secondary roads, greenways, parks, and other flood-prone locations.

More significant rises along the Pigeon River are possible, and those
with interests along the river are encouraged to stay weather aware
and up-to-date on the latest stream levels and forecasts at
https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/GSP.  Current reasonable worst-case
scenarios are posted in the ADDITIONAL DETAILS sections below.
Forecast crests above Minor Flood Stage may result in the River Flood
Advisories being upgraded to River Flood Warnings.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

If you are in the Advisory area, remain alert to possible flooding or
the possibility of the Advisory being upgraded to a Warning.

For detailed information including observed and forecast stages,
flood impacts, flood history, FEMA Flood Hazard Layers, and more,
please visit: https://water.noaa.gov/wfo/GSP

The next statement should be issued Sunday afternoon before 1215 PM
EDT.

* WHEN...From this evening to late Sunday night.

* IMPACTS...At 8.0 feet, Action/Advisory Stage.  Common, nuisance
  flooding of low-lying areas adjacent to the Pigeon River is

  woodlands, nurseries, parks, athletic fields, golf courses,
  greenways, and boat-access areas with up to 2 feet of inundation.
  Low-water crossings may be inundated with up to 2 feet of
  floodwater and become impassable.  Adjacent campgrounds, mobile
  home/RV parks, and secondary roads may experience floodwater
  inundation of up to 1 foot.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
  - At 11:45 PM EDT Friday the stage was 1.2 feet and steady.
  - Forecast...The river is expected to rise to a crest of 8.5 feet
    Sunday morning.  A reasonable worst-case crest above Minor Flood
