Severe Weather Alerts - Robbinsville, NChttp://www.accuweather.com/en/us/southeast-region/weather-radar?play=1http://www.accuweather.com/en/us/robbinsville-nc/28771/weather-radar/334849 Play a couple of these tracking videos, it is instructional to say the least. The rain band is moving such a way that a
whole line up of the big angry red thunderstorms is going flow right over Robbinsville. The sliding front type weather pattern seems relatively stuck at the moment, so Sunday and Monday are indeed likely going to be washed out.

* through Monday evening
*
Several periods of showers and thunderstorms are expected across
the area today through at least Monday morning. Total rainfall
amounts of 2 to 4 inches are expected by the time the heavy rain
potential ends on Monday. Locally higher amounts will be
possible with smaller scale bands of showers and storms that may
develop across the area, especially tonight and early Monday.
* The long duration and widespread nature of the heavy rain threat
is expected to result in significant rises and potential
flooding on area streams, while minor flooding will also be
possible along some main stem rivers. Additionally, heavier
short term rainfall rates associated with bands of heavy rain
showers and thunderstorms could result in localized flash
flooding along small streams and in urban areas.
PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.
You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible
Flood Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be
prepared to take action should flooding develop.
