With a reprieve from wet weather late Thursday night, more rain and potential thunderstorms could be in store for Massachusetts before the weekend starts.

The threat of flash flooding returned to North Carolina on Thursday, only days after Tropical Depression Chantal dumped heavy rain across the central part of the state, flooding homes and highways and leading to dozens of rescues.

On Thursday at 3:54 p.m. the NWS Morristown TN released a flood advisory in effect until 6 p.m. for Cherokee County.

Heavy rains fell quickly in the predawn hours of Friday in the Texas Hill Country, causing the Guadalupe River to rise 26 feet in just 45 minutes.

Radar data can estimate rainfall to a fairly accurate amount. The rain data in the case of the deadly tragedy that unfolded in the Texas Hill Country last weekend shows exactly why the area around Camp Mystic and the Guadalupe River, outside of San Antonio, had such a raging flash flood.

However, locally higher amounts of rainfall, between 2 inches and more than 5 inches, could be possible anywhere in central North Carolina. Areas including and west of Alamance, Chatham, Lee, Moore, and Hoke counties have a slightly greater chance of receiving that higher precipitation.

The National Weather Service has issued a flood watch for Rhode Island and other parts of Southern New England with 2 to 4 inches of rain expected.
