This Hazardous Weather Outlook is for portions of southwest North
Carolina...east Tennessee and southwest Virginia.

.DAY ONE...Today and Tonight

Additional periods of showers and storms are expected today and
tonight. Storms this morning and early afternoon could lead to
additional localized flooding and gusty winds.

Additional showers and storms in the evening could lead to
isolated strong to severe wind gusts and localized flooding,
however, confidence is lower in this time period.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...Thursday through Tuesday

An active, northwest flow pattern will continue through late this
week. This pattern has the potential to produce several rounds of
showers and thunderstorms, especially for our northern counties.
While widespread severe storms aren`t likely, some damaging winds
could occur with the stronger storms in addition to heavy rain
and isolated flash flooding concerns.

.SPOTTER INFORMATION STATEMENT...

Spotter activation is not needed at this time.
