Recent satellite imagery suggests thining clouds south of I-40 with rain moving out of NETN. Right now we have ~900-1,200 J/kg of CAPE across the area with very high moister content, but nothing is really setting off these “storms”. We are watching a considerable flash flood threat for Haywood county as flooding has been reported near the Pigeon River. Overall we are not really impressed with the atmosphere which we discussed days before this event. Heavy showers are possible either way this evening with a flood threat increasing. A GWX Code Yellow is not needed.
