Today’s Highlights

Flood Watch: Stay Weather-Aware Through This Evening

A Flood Watch is in effect through this evening across southwest North Carolina and a large portion of north Georgia. That means flooding is possible, especially in low-lying areas, creeks, and places that don’t drain well. If you’re out today, treat water over the road like a hard stop, and keep an eye on changing conditions.
