251 PM EDT MON AUG 8 2016

...HEAVY DOWNPOURS ARE EXPECTED THROUGH TONIGHT...

.A NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT WILL REMAIN STALLED OVER THE CAROLINAS TODAY. ABUNDANT MOISTURE WILL BE PRESENT ACROSS THE REGION IN ITS VICINITY. SOUTHEAST WINDS NEAR THE SURFACE WILL PRODUCE AN UPSLOPE FLOW IN AND NEAR THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIANS. THIS WILL
GREATLY INCREASE THE COVERAGE OF HEAVY RAIN PRODUCING SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ACROSS THE REGION...ESPECIALLY AT LOCATIONS ALONG AND EAST OF THE BLUE RIDGE. A HEIGHTENED RISK OF FLASH FLOODING EXISTS FOR OUR AREA.
