A High Wind Warning and a Flood Watch are or will be in effect for Macon County due to the remnants of Hurricane Isaias that will be passing by to our west.
Please use caution on the roads and don't travel unless it is absolutely necessary. The weather advisories are posted below.
...HIGH WIND WARNING IN EFFECT AT ELEVATIONS ABOVE 3500 FEET FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 8 AM EDT SUNDAY...
...WIND ADVISORY IN EFFECT FROM MIDNIGHT TONIGHT TO 8 AM EDT SUNDAY...
* WHAT...For the High Wind Warning in high elevations above 3500 feet, east winds 15 to 25 mph with gusts up to 60 mph expected. For the Wind Advisory in lower elevations below 3500 feet, east winds 10 to 20 mph with gusts of 45 to 50 mph expected.
* WHERE...Most of the mountains of western North Carolina, from Graham and Macon counties northeast to Mitchell County.
* WHEN...From midnight tonight to 8 AM EDT Sunday.
* IMPACTS...Damaging winds will blow down trees and power lines especially in higher elevations. Widespread power outages are expected in higher elevations. Travel will be difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Gusty winds will blow around unsecured objects, and may cause a few tree limbs to fall and cause isolated power outages in lower elevations.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
Remain in the lower levels of your home during the windstorm, and avoid windows. Watch for falling debris and tree limbs. Use caution if you must drive.
Stay tuned to further developments by listening to your local radio, television, or NOAA Weather Radio for further information.
Winds this strong can make driving difficult, especially for high profile vehicles. Use extra caution.
Flood Watch
...FLOOD WATCH IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH SUNDAY AFTERNOON...
* WHAT...Flash flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible.
* WHERE...Portions of northeast Georgia, including the following counties, Elbert, Franklin, Habersham, Hart, Rabun and Stephens; portions of western North Carolina, including the following counties, Avery, Buncombe, Burke, Caldwell, Haywood, Henderson, Jackson, Macon, McDowell, Mitchell, Polk, Rutherford, Transylvania and Yancey; portions of Upstate South Carolina, including Oconee County, and mountainous northern portions of Pickens and Greenville Counties.
* WHEN...From Saturday morning through Sunday afternoon.
* IMPACTS...Excessive runoff may result in flooding of rivers, creeks, streams, and other low-lying and flood-prone locations. Creeks and streams may rise out of their banks. Low-water crossings may be flooded.
* ADDITIONAL DETAILS... - As Isaias weakens and moves northward through the Mid-South early Saturday, rain will become increasingly likely across the western Carolinas and northeast Georgia. Periods of rain may begin over the watch area prior to dawn Saturday, though rainfall rates will initially be light. Rainfall rates will increase during the day, and heavy rain is most likely Saturday afternoon through early Sunday morning, particularly along the south and east facing Blue Ridge Escarpment, that is, near the southern border of North Carolina west of I-26, and in the sharp terrain from near Saluda to Grandfather Mountain in North Carolina. - http://www.weather.gov/safety/flood
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch for flash flooding means there is a potential for rapid onset flooding based on current forecasts. Flash flooding is a very dangerous situation and may impact areas that do not typically flood. Please monitor the latest forecasts and be prepared to take action quickly should Flash Flood Warnings be issued.
Rainfall of more than five inches in similar storms has been associated with an increased risk of landslides and rockslides. If you live on a mountainside or in a cove at the base of a mountain, especially near a stream, be ready to leave in advance of the storm or as quickly as possible should rising water, moving earth, or rocks threaten. Consider postponing travel along mountain roads during periods of heavy rainfall.
