Southern Appalachians May See Isolated Flash Flooding
US · Published Oct 26, 2025
The Southern Appalachians face a risk of isolated flash flooding due to moisture from a developing low off the Southeast Atlantic coast.
Hilly and mountainous terrain increases the risk, as runoff can quickly cause hazardous conditions in low-lying areas.
Residents should monitor weather forecasts and be prepared to take action if flash flood warnings are issued.
Moisture influx increases flash flood potential
The Southern Appalachian region faces a heightened risk of isolated flash flooding due to moisture streaming in from a developing low-pressure system off the Southeast Atlantic coast. This influx of moisture will fuel showers and thunderstorms across the area. While overall rainfall amounts are expected to be moderate, the unique topography of the southern Appalachians significantly elevates the potential for rapid and localized flash floods.
