STORM TOTAL QPF HAS FALLEN BELOW AN INCH WITH THIS PACKAGE OVER THE SOUTHERN HALF OF THE AREA, AND LESS THAN 1.5 INCHES ACROSS MUCH OF THE NC PIEDMONT. HOWEVER, GIVEN THE LONGER DURATION OF RAIN AND GREATER CONVECTIVE COMPONENT DEVELOPING SUNDAY, WE RETAIN 3 TO 5 INCH TOTALS ALONG SOME OF THE NORTHERN ESCARPMENT. WITH MUCH OF THAT DRAINING INTO THE CATAWBA BASIN, ELEVATED RIVER LEVELS COULD DEVELOP IN THE CATAWBA RESERVOIR CHAIN WHICH COULD HAVE LASTING EFFECTS INTO MONDAY
