Stream rises and flash flooding are possible late tonight into Saturday, as a front settles into the area, stalls, and then retreats north. This will keep the middle Ohio Valey, northern West Virginia, and portions of central West Virginia, in a corridor of showers and thunderstorms late tonight through Friday night. A cold front will sweep through Saturday, with one last round of showers/storms. Read More >

Unseasonably warm today. Areas of heavy rain tonight into Saturday. |
Warm temperatures this afternoon and evening will be accompanied by scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms across the Mid-Ohio Valley, with mainly dry weather further south. Heavier rainfall is possible tonight through Friday night, as a cold front drifts slowly southward and stalls across the area, providing for rounds of additional showers and isolated thunderstorms, with some high water issues possible. The front lifts north of the area Saturday morning, before a cold front pushes through in the afternoon. Shower activity will diminish later Saturday, with dry weather forecast for Sunday. More rain chances, and possibly some mountain snow, are anticipated for early next week. Get additional details in our Area Forecast Discussion... |

Flash Flood Guidance |
Flash Flood Guidance (FFG) provides a general indication of the amount of rainfall evenly distributed over various durations (in hours), necessary to cause small streams to overflow their natural banks. During heavy rainfall, accurate interpretation of the guidance consists of the combination of rainfall that has already occurred plus any additional rainfall that can be confidently expected to fall over the same location in the immediate future.
It should be noted that FFG values represent estimates of average soil moisture and stream flow conditions. Flooding may occur with less rainfall than indicated in areas of high rainfall intensities, impervious surfaces, or steep slopes.
