A Flood Watch remains in effect through late tonight for portions of North Carolina, Virginia, and southeast West Virginia.
The affected areas include counties such as Alleghany, Ashe, and Watauga in North Carolina; Alleghany, Bath, and Roanoke in Virginia; and Mercer, Monroe, and Summers in West Virginia.

Impact & Risks

Excessive rainfall may lead to flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and low-lying areas. Urban areas could experience extensive street flooding, while rural regions may see creeks and rivers overflow. The risk is particularly high in flood-prone locations, where heavy rain could exacerbate already elevated water levels. Flash flooding is a significant concern if rainfall rates intensify.
