Forecast Discussion

As we are expecting rain throughout the day today, the National Weather Service extended our flood watch and will now expire at 11 pm tonight. We are in a Slight Risk (level 2 out of 4) for excessive rainfall today, any isolated heavy shower or simply just persistent showers can and will cause flash flooding in already vulnerable areas due to saturated soils. Avoid driving on flooded roadways and be sure to monitor flooding in low-lying and other flood-prone areas from runoff.

A Flash Flood Warning has been issued for parts of Athens county and will be in effect until 11 am.

Scattered to widespread showers are expected this morning and becoming more isolated as the afternoon/evening progress. Tonight we will continue to see chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms as our stalling front begins to develop into a fast moving system. Before it begins to move, we will have a fairly dry day on Saturday allowing for any areas that have seen flooding to dry out slightly. The system will begin to lift into the area Saturday night prompting chances for showers and a possible thunderstorm into Sunday morning.

Sunday we will be mostly dry during the day once again with only a small chance for pop up showers, as a cold front approaches. Rain will likely return Sunday night and Monday as the cold front passes through before we finally put this system behind us on Tuesday.
