| A Flood Watch remains in effect from Saturday afternoon through
Sunday morning for Calhoun, Gilmer, Clay, Roane, Wirt, Ritchie, and Braxton, among other regional counties.
A strong low pressure system will affect the area this
weekend ... with the potential of dropping another inch or two
of rain. This will likely cause more flooding problems
beginning Saturday afternoon with the greatest impact
Saturday night and early Sunday.
The greatest threat will not only be small streams and creeks
but all the rivers as well ... especially the Little Kanawha River, West Fork of the Little Kanawha.
A Flood Watch means there is a potential for flooding based on
current forecasts.
