Western North Carolina Weather Update — Asheville & Surrounding Areas

Wednesday, May 27, 2026 | Latest Conditions From The Past Few Hours

Heavy rain and flooding continue to impact parts of Asheville and Western North Carolina this morning after several rounds of overnight thunderstorms moved across the region. Local reports indicate some communities have received up to 8 inches of rainfall, especially in areas from Fairview toward Lake Lure. Flooding, road washouts, and rising creeks have already been reported in portions of Buncombe, Henderson, and Transylvania counties.

Current conditions in Asheville as of the latest National Weather Service update:

Temperature: 69°F
Light rain continuing
Humidity: 93%
Winds: South at 5 mph
Visibility remains reduced in heavier showers.

Emergency crews are monitoring multiple problem areas this morning, including:

Flooded secondary roads
Washed-out sections near the Henderson County line
Rapid rises along small creeks and streams
Ponding water in low-lying urban areas.

The atmosphere remains very saturated, meaning additional showers and thunderstorms this afternoon could quickly worsen flooding conditions. Forecasters say any heavier downpour may trigger new flash flooding with little warning.

Areas Seeing The Greatest Impacts
Asheville
Fairview
Swannanoa
Hendersonville
Gerton
Lake Lure
Portions of Transylvania County

Travel Concerns

Drivers are urged to avoid flooded roads and washed-out areas. Several back roads and mountain routes remain hazardous due to debris, standing water, and unstable shoulders. Officials continue reminding residents:

“Turn Around, Don’t Drown.”

Forecast Through Today
More scattered thunderstorms expected
High near 77°F
Additional localized heavy rainfall possible
Flash flooding risk remains elevated through tonight.

We’ve been checking in on our residents in Bat Cave, Chimney Rock and Gerton this morning and throughout last night. These areas suffered flash flooding, many were evacuated and a lot of areas that were in the rebuilding phase were washed away. Roads and infrastructure are so fragile. Sending prayers up to WNC, PTSD is real and last night many felt it ♥️

Because together, we can make a difference 🫶

Please pray for Chimney Rock, Bat Cave and Henderson County in North Carolina. They were still trying to get back on their feet after Hurricane Helene and they were hit hard with flooding last night.

What you see there is the first crop of raspberries since Helene and that crop is now flooded. They will need our support and prayers. 💔🙏🏻
