* ADDITIONAL DETAILS...
- The remnants of Isaias will bring widespread rainfall along the
crest of the southern Blue Ridge from Floyd County, Virginia to
Watauga county, North Carolina. 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.
