How Much Rain Will Fall?

It will vary depending on your location, but according to short range models, it appears that locations SW of Asheville, especially along the Blue Ridge Escarpment stand the best chance to see over .5” of rainfall from this. So, I am not projecting a washout, but some locations could see some isolated flash flooding as heavy rain/storms push through. Below you can see the most recent Nam 3km precipitation totals.
