not as high in Asheville yet, but still flooding https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/AVLN7
Even in the UHI, this is noticeable. My part of Silver Spring is a lot of hills and stream valleys, and last night we noticed this when we walked down into the Sligo Creek valley (about 200ft ASL) from our house (which is about 330ft ASL).
Parts of my backyard became little ponds pretty quick. Clean gutters were overflowing... it was dumping. But we've had much worse in the last years I've been here.
EPS and GEFS both have interesting looking waves coming off Africa towards the Antilles in the next few days. Op runs show storms that curve north and avoid CONUS. Active period coming up?
