* through Thursday evening

* A deep low pressure system over the plains will bring abundant 
  Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico moisture to the Southeast today 
  into Thursday. Widespread rainfall totals of 2 to 3 inches 
  will be possible across much of the western Carolinas and 
  northeast Georgia during the period, with the bulk of the 
  heavy rain falling tonight. 

* This heavy rainfall will impact locations that received 2 to 4 
  inches of rain on Monday. The ground remains saturated and 
  stream levels across the region are running quite high. This 
  could lead to more widespread flooding along rivers and 
  streams than observed with the Monday system.
