Snow today along and southeast of the Ohio River

A disturbance today is bringing snow to the area, mainly to locations mainly southeast of the Ohio River. Total snow accumulations of 2 to 5 inches are expected by this evening across southwest Virginia, southern and central West Virginia, and parts of northeast Kentucky. Dry weather returns briefly on Tuesday, with the next system crossing north of the area on Wednesday bringing rain across most of the area, along with gusty winds. Following this, additional disturbances will bring a mix of rain and snow for late in the work week, and then eventually all snow by the weekend, as temperatures gradually trend lower.

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.
