Confidence is increasing that rainfall amounts will increase across the region through Thursday. Right now, at least a quarter to half inch of rainfall is anticipated in most places through Thursday evening, with the highest amounts seen from the Grayson Highlands, southward into Northwest North Carolina. In this region, between 1 and 2 inches of rain will likely fall. However, the probabilities are better than 50/50 that at least 2 inches of rain may be seen across parts of Watauga, Wilkes, and Yadkin Counties, and at least a half inch of rain may be seen in Southeast West Virginia. These higher amounts may result in localized flooding of poor drainage areas.
