Hazardous Weather Potential

SPECIAL WEATHER STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
520 AM EDT Wed Oct 28 2020

...SIGNIFICANT RAIN EVENT EXPECTED TONIGHT AND THURSDAY...

A storm system arriving from the Great Plains will interact with
the remnants of Hurricane Zeta tonight and Thursday. This will
result in a widespread and potentially prolonged rain event for
the entire region. Rain will spread across our area from south to
north tonight and continue for much of Thursday. Periods of
moderate to heavy rain are likely, especially late tonight through
Thursday morning. This may result in hazardous driving conditions
for the morning commute on Thursday. Rainfall totals of 1 to 2
inches are likely for all areas by Thursday evening. Higher
amounts of 2 to 3 inches may occur across area mountains and along
the southern and eastern slopes. Rain should end from west to east
Thursday night.

Given our prolonged dry spell earlier this month, widespread
flooding is not currently expected. However, isolated to scattered
high water impacts may still occur across typical flood prone and
low lying areas. Residents are urged to remove leaf debris from
storm drains and drainage ditches. This will help reduce flood
potential.
