88 people died in the storm; Trump expected to visit the hard-hit Georgia city

Federal forecasters say the remnants of what was once Hurricane Helene, combined with a mild rain front, could bring additional rain to parts of the central Appalachians.

From West Virginia to northwest Virginia and far western Maryland, 1 to 2 inches of rain could fall, with up to 5 inches in some areas, according to the National Weather Service’s Weather Prediction Center.

“On the eastern side of the front, moisture is moving into the area, but there are also some localized events that are causing clusters of precipitation,” said National Weather Service meteorologist Jeremy Geiger of the Baltimore/Washington office in Sterling, Virginia.

Rain is expected to leave the already saturated area by Tuesday or Wednesday.

Residents of Hendersonville, North Carolina, explored their neighborhood by kayak after Hurricane Helene flooded the area. The storm is expected to weaken, but heavy rain and flash flooding remain a threat to parts of Appalachia.
