The affected areas are at risk of life-threatening flash flooding, particularly in low-lying regions, near creeks, and streams. Communities in southwestern Avery County, McDowell County, southeastern Mitchell County, and southeastern Yancey County should remain vigilant. Torrential rainfall from training storm cells could lead to rapid water level rises, making travel hazardous and potentially isolating some areas. Residents should prepare for possible evacuations and avoid flood-prone zones.
