Flash Flood Watch in Effect Until Noon Monday

Wet Weather Continues

Turn Around, Don't Drown!

Daily Weather Summary

Additional rounds of heavy showers and storms are expected to move through the area this evening through Monday morning. Locations that received heavy rain earlier in the day will be at greatest risk for additional flash flooding overnight.

An active and unsettled weather pattern will persist across the region through mid-week as a lingering frontal boundary slowly pushes south across West Virginia and surrounding areas before exiting by midday Monday. Expect rounds of heavy showers and thunderstorms today into tonight, with the main threats being localized damaging winds, primarily focused across northern counties, and localized flash flooding. High moisture levels will make repeated downpours especially hazardous for low-lying, flood-prone areas or locations with already saturated soils. As the front exits, a strengthening low pressure system sweeping south from the Great Lakes will maintain shower and thunderstorm chances through Tuesday and Wednesday. This system will also draw in cooler air, driving temperatures below seasonal averages starting Tuesday. Drier, more comfortable conditions will return by late Thursday into the weekend as strong high pressure builds into the region.

Locally heavy downpours remain possible through early next week. Because repeated downpours could cause isolated flash flooding into early next week, always remember: turn around, don't drown if you encounter water on the roads!
