Last paragraph of discussion:

“The much greater threat for flooding area-wide is expected to be
later tonight as even stronger southeasterly flow associated with
the approach of Helene pushes ever greater moisture into the same
eastern slopes of the southern Appalachians with potentially
catastrophic flash flooding overnight.”
 
NHC now forecasting a category 4 hurricane at landfall:

"The NHC intensity forecast now shows an intensity of 115 kt (Category 4) at
24 hours, which is mirrored by several of the regional hurricane
models and the SHIPS guidance. It should be noted that additional
strengthening is possible beyond 24 hours before Helene makes
landfall Thursday evening."
