Charleston, WV – West Virginia is set to experience multiple rounds of showers and thunderstorms over the next few days, raising concerns about heavy rain and localized flooding.
The National Weather Service in Charleston, WV, has warned that some storms may bring very heavy rainfall, with the potential for an inch or more to fall within an hour. The greatest risk for flash flooding is in the mountainous regions and southern coalfields, which have already been soaked by significant rainfall earlier this week. The saturated ground in these areas heightens the flash flood risk.
While the rainfall will be sporadic, almost everyone in the state is expected to see some rain. Thunderstorms capable of producing heavy downpours could occur anywhere, prompting residents to stay vigilant for potential localized flooding.
The forecast indicates that the heavy rains will persist through Thursday. However, conditions are expected to improve by Friday, with less humid and drier weather anticipated for the weekend.
