Weather Watches/Warnings for Western Carolinas

As the remnants of Tropic Storm Fay continue to bring heavy rain to the Upstate of South Carolina and the mountains of North Carolina, the entire area is under a combination of tornado watches, flood warnings, and flash flood watches.

A 'watch' means that conditions are right for a weather event. A 'warning' means that the weather event is in progress.

Rainfall totals for the region are expected to be from 3-5 inches on Wednesday, in addition to the 2-3 inches that have already been recorded for Tuesday.

The Greenville-Spartanburg area of Upstate South Carolina is under a tornado watch until 2 AM and a flash flood watch throughout the morning hours, as 3-5 more inches of rainfall is expected.

The Asheville-Hendersonville area of the mountains of North Carolina is under a flash flood watch for Wednesday. Several counties in the region are under a flood warning as rivers and streams have already overflowed their banks, resulting in damage to property.
