The rains - especially more in the mountains can have locally HEAVY rainfall totals as the wind blows straight up the mountain slopes. Result could be 12-15 inches on those slopes and mudslides.
Most locations in the foothills and mountains 6-12 inches of rain. Asheville is already 19+ inches of rainfall ABOVE normal for the year. Thus long term (days - maybe more) impacts from this can be felt in these areas.
Do NOT DRIVE THROUGH FLOODED ROADWAYS.
