Event Synopsis
|
Multiple rounds of moderate to heavy rain affected portions of the region on February 16-17, 2023. This occurred ahead of a deepening area of low pressure that would pass just northwest of the region during the afternoon/evening hours of Thursday, February 16th. When all was said and done, rainfall totals of 2-4" fell across much of the central/southern portion of the NWS Charleston forecast area, leading to numerous flooding issues across the region, both in terms of areal and river flooding. Rainfall totals were high enough for both Beckley, WV and Huntington, WV to set daily rainfall records on February 16th. Fortunately, mainly dry weather would follow this system for the next few days, allowing for any lingering river flooding to recede by the early morning hours of Saturday, February 18th.

Overview
Both areal and river flooding were observed with this event. Numerous road closures were reported, with several river gauges going above flood stage. Additionally, a water rescue was reported, as well as a couple of mudslides, one of which resulted in a train derailment in Ragland, WV (Mingo County). One fatality did occur with this event in Pax, WV (Fayette County) when someone drowned due to being swept away on a flooded roadway.
Several hydrographs can be seen below illustrating the river flooding across the region. Those not pictured below that also reached flood stage include the: Elk River, Big Coal River, Knapp Creek, Symmes Creek, Cranes Nest River, and Pound River. A radar loop with flood warnings overlaid, throughout the entirety of the event, can be seen under the 'Radar Loops' tab.

Subtropical Moisture Stream
Abundant moisture was transported into the region during this event courtesy of the subtropical jet. This can be seen (below) by looking at the GOES-16 6.9 µm 'Mid-level water vapor' band. The yellow colors indicate a relative lack of mid/upper level water vapor, while the white, and particularly green colors represent an abundance of mid/upper level moisture.
