Flood Watch issued February 13 at 3:32AM EST until February 17 at 1:00AM EST by NWS Charleston WV
The Flood Watch for the southern coalfields this morning is no longer needed now that the heavy rain has moved out of the area. The next system aiming for the region this weekend is anticipated to bring between 2 to 3 inches to our area, which has already faced multiple rounds of heavy rainfall this month. Therefore, a new Flood Watch is now in place to highlight this potential beginning Saturday morning.
