The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for all of the Upstate, mountains and northeast Georgia until noon Wednesday.

FOX Carolina meteorologist Andy Wood said that Ida made landfall on Tuesday morning along the Alabama coast as a tropical storm. He said that as Ida moves inland, rainfall will spread across the western Carolinas.

Wood said that rainfall amounts from 2-4 inches will be common, with the heaviest rain falling along the escarpment of the Appalachian Mountains.

Forecasters said that residents in the watch area should monitor water levels closely and be prepared to evacuate to higher ground. They said that drivers who come across water-covered roadways should turn around and find another way to get to their destination.

Wood said that the rain should move out of the area by Wednesday morning.
