RAINFALL UP TO TWO INCHES PER HOUR - Flood Watch For Region

(08/29/2004)

The National Weather Service in Charleston has issued a Flood Watch effective until 5 a.m. EDT Monday morning. The watch includes the following areas: Calhoun, Braxton, Clay, Gilmer, Ritchie, Roane and Wirt Counties. Widespread showers and thunderstorms are expected to develop across southeast Ohio, northeast Kentucky and western West Virginia this afternoon into this evening. Abundant atmospheric moisture combined with instability and an approaching cold front could produce very heavy rainfall in amounts of 2 inches per hour. Heavy rains may tend to fall over the same areas and in areas which have already received moderate rainfall over the past few days. A Flood Watch means that conditions are favorable for heavy rain across the watch area ... which may lead to flooding along area rivers.
