let's show you the potential rainfall amounts here through the day tomorrow will add up over a half an inch in asheville. this is one general idea. even though you see half an inch in greer, i do see some places over the upstate to get an inch easily. that will obviously cause more flooding concerns. general flooding already happening with the rivers and creeks already running high. any additional rainfall is going to go right in to them. flash flooding is still a possibility as well, even here in the mountains. heed any warnings. 60 by the lunch hour. it looks like the rain spreads all across the area by then. upstate you're 60s by 9 anan noon. rain in the forecast and how long it takes before we begin to dry things out. >> larry: flood waters left a lot of mud behind. >> tammy: asheville paint and

now your news 13 skywatch weather. >> jason: tomorrow is a very tricky forecast. we could push that rain farther south of asheville or bring it up all the way in to the mountains. most of us are going to get wet.

how much rain are we thinking? you won't have to go too far south to find one to two inch rainfall totals, especially in the upstate. 90% chance of rain tomorrow. of course it's a given. 53 degrees right now. it is calm. the wind. our dew point has cooled off to 49. we can continue to cool down. good news is the moisture is probably not going to hold as much moisture for us. the air, i should say, is not going to hold as much moisture. 54 degrees. we got a warm front. this is going to play havoc with the forecast. where does this thing situate itself tonight and tomorrow? it's going to provide the rainfall. the focus of the rain for the entire region tomorrow afternoon in to the evening.

how does that happen? colder winds will start to push south. the warm front goes in to a cold front as it moves east, it will dry us out. that happens tomorrow evening. it's going to stay there for several days in to the new year. once we start to see that moisture come back, it's going to mean more rain for us eventually. doesn't look like that's going to happen in the longer term. there's day break. showers popping over the upstate. look at this yellll here and orange, heavy rain. anything more than a half inch an hour could cause flooding concerns. we're going to have potential for flooding as the rivers, creeks, streams remain high. heed any warnings. there you go. 3 quarters of an inch to an inch will do it for many mountain locations. temperatures in the 50s and 60s tonight.
