* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers,

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 to 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.
