A stalled boundary over the Carolinas will keep storms in the forecast into the weekend. While we do have severe weather chances, models are showing high rainfall rates and a flood risk for the area.

Flooding

With the front sticking around for the long haul, rainfall chances will be in the forecast daily. This stretch makes it all the way out to the weekend! Rainfall totals across the South will average between 3-6 inches of rain. Localized heavier amounts are possible. Make sure you have a plan of action if high water becomes an issue in your neighborhood.

With a large amount of rain in the forecast, the risk for flash flooding will be present. More than likely, Flood Watches will continue from Northern Alabama and East Tennessee to the Carolina coastline through the weekend.

A few strong to severe thunderstorms are possible along and south of the front on Friday. The Storm Prediction Center has issued a marginal risk of severe weather for the area shaded in dark green:

Despite this last week, it's been pretty dry for the Carolinas. Recent updates from the drought monitor show an extreme to even exceptional drought across the Carolinas. Hopefully, all this rain can offset some of those concerns.
