ASHEVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA — A line of showers and thunderstorms was pushing east across the southern Appalachian region early this morning, bringing heavy rain and gusty winds from eastern Tennessee into western and central North Carolina as temperatures begin to plunge behind the front.
Meteorologists tracking the system around 7:33 a.m. reported that the storm line would continue progressing east through the morning and afternoon, producing scattered downpours and occasional thunderstorms along its path.
While widespread severe weather is not expected, forecasters say an isolated severe storm with damaging winds cannot be ruled out as the line moves across the region.
