Big-Time Rain Event Arriving this Weekend. Sunday's a Wash-out !

Finally, all the region gets a widespread, soaking rain event, but for some of us, eventually this could be a little too much rain. Right now looks like the mountains and around Lake Lure stand the best chances for excessive rains, but we'll have to keep a watch on radars this Sunday and Monday to see exactly where the truly heavy flooding rains will be.  The rain should begin late Saturday night, or by Sunday morning, and grow heavier through Sunday. The end of this prolonged wet spell may come Monday evening, or as late as middle of the week...too early to say yet.  Here's my first thoughts on some rainfall totals (strange to be making a map of rain totals, like we do in the Winter for snow, but rain has gotten to be more rare as snow it seems).

Possible Rainfall Totals of the Multi-day Storm...
