Maximum sustained winds are just below hurricane force at 70 mph. Wilmington, N.C., has already picked up over five inches of rain and more heavy rain is on the way. Flash flood watches and warnings have been posted across the Carolinas up into the Mid-Atlantic. An additional 4 to 8 inches of rain is possible over parts of South and North Carolina overnight and into Friday. To the north, some river systems over New York and Pennsylvania will likely move above flood stage during the holiday weekend as heavy rain spreads to the north. "
