Very warm and humid, with locally heavy downpours through mid-week

Slow moving and heavy showers and thunderstorms are expected through early next week, amid continuing very warm and humid conditions. While the risk for severe thunderstorms will remain limited, the risk for localized flash flooding will increase, as soils become compromised from locally heavy rain. A disturbance moving overhead today brings the potential for locally significant flooding with slow moving storms, likely focused in eastern, central and northern West Virginia.

How Much Rain Has Fallen? (Interactive)

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.
