Winter Weather Alerts & Flood Watches and River Flood Watches Issued through Thursday...
Clarksburg, WV (WBOY) - After a dry start to the work week, that all changes as we get from Tuesday and into Thursday...
The National Weather Service has issued the following winter weather and flooding alerts in advance of our next weather maker on the way to the region...
Flood Watch: In effect for the entire WBOY 12 News Viewing Area from Tuesday Morning through Thursday Morning in our Central and Southern Zones, and until Thursday Evening in our Northern Zones.
Winter Weather Advisories from 7:00 AM until 2:00 PM Tuesday for Preston and Tucker Counties in West Virginia along with Garrett County, Maryland.
Freezing Rain Advisories from 7:00 AM until 2:00 PM Tuesday for Randolph and Pocahontas Counties in West Virginia.
River Flood Watch - Preston County, WV: Cheat River at Rowlesburg. As the rain moves into the area, river levels are anticipated to rise. Flood Stage for the river is 16.0 Feet, and minor flooding is forecast. Flood stage is expected to be reached by Wednesday Afternoon and Evening.
As the precipitation moves into the area on Tuesday, this could begin as a wintry mix for everyone, before quickly changing over to rain in the lowlands, but the wintry mix will hang on into the late morning and early afternoon in the higher elevations, before they change over to rain as well...
Heavy rain will move into the region as we get from Tuesday Afternoon and into Wednesday, and we can't rule out a rumble of thunder late Tuesday and into Wednesday Morning, as the cold front moves through the area. Most places will see anywhere from 1-3" of rain, with isolated higher amounts, before the colder air moves in. Once the cold front moves through the area, we will usher in some colder air pretty quick, and this will chance the rain over to snow, and we could see some snowfall accumulations from Wednesday Night and into Thursday Morning, before we dry things out as we get into the end of the week.
This is definitely a forecast you want to keep tabs on over the next few days because we have multiple hazards to watch from wintry weather and flooding rainfall as well, that will impact just about everyone.
Stay with WBOY 12 News and StormTracker 12, we'll keep you ahead of the storm...
