## extract

Flood Watch — Ashe; Alleghany; Surry; Watauga; Wilkes; Grayson; Carroll; Floyd; Patrick
Severity: Severe. Certainty: Possible.
* WHAT...Flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.

* WHERE...Portions of North Carolina, including the following areas,
Alleghany NC, Ashe, Surry, Watauga and Wilkes and southwest
Virginia, including the following areas, Carroll, Floyd, Grayson
and Patrick.

* WHEN...From Saturday morning through Sunday evening.

* 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. Storm drains and ditches may become clogged with
debris. Extensive street flooding and flooding of creeks and rivers
are possible.

* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- Upslope rainfall from a rather strong southeasterly Low level jet
from the remnants of Isaias will bring increased precipitation
along the crest of the southern Blue Ridge from Floyd county
extending southwestward towards Watauga county. Widespread
rainfall totals of 2-4 inches with locally higher totals in the
5-6 range will be possible, especially for areas like Meadows of
Dan, Boone, and Blowing Rock. These higher totals may lead to
isolated instances of landslides along slopes that have been
modified by humans like embankments or cut slopes. These areas
may also see increased rises on local streamflows that may lead
to flooding across low-water crossings.
