Flood Watch issued September 21 at 4:11AM EDT until September 22 at 11:00AM EDT by NWS Blacksburg VA
The National Weather Service in Blacksburg has issued a * Flood Watch for portions of North Carolina and Virginia, including the following areas, in North Carolina, Alleghany NC, Ashe, Surry, Watauga and Wilkes. In Virginia, Alleghany VA, Amherst, Bath, Bedford, Bland, Botetourt, Carroll, Craig, Floyd, Franklin, Giles, Grayson, Henry, Montgomery, Patrick, Pulaski, Roanoke, Rockbridge, Smyth and Wythe.

* From 2 PM EDT this afternoon through Wednesday morning.

* Deep tropical moisture will move across the central Appalachians this afternoon through tonight, supporting the potential for prolonged periods of heavy rain. Rainfall amounts will be highest along and near the crest of the Blue Ridge, where the terrain will enhance rainfall intensity in the southeasterly windflow.

* Where high rainfall rates occur, or where bands of rain pass repeatedly over the same locations, rapid rises on smaller creeks and streams is expected. Some of these waterways may flood outside of their banks, and flow across roads and into low-lying areas.
Depending on where the heaviest rain occurs, minor flooding of the larger main-stem rivers may be possible.
