Warm front lifting north today brings widespread on/off rain showers to the area. Flash flood watches for all counties north of RT 33 are in effect from now until Saturday afternoon. The entire Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia is under a flood watch through Saturday.
Temperatures hold steady in the upper 50s today. However, the focus will remain on flooding concerns, especially for waterways that are still swollen from recent rain. The threat for thunder & lightning will hold off until warmer air moves in early Saturday. We'll stick with just periodic rain showers through tonight. Lows will right around 50.
For Saturday...system will stall over the northern zones. Expect widespread rain to the north with chance of thunderstorms as the day progresses. Two to threes inches of additional rainfall are expected over the Easter weekend. So it looks like we could be bobbing for Easter eggs! Further south, more sunshine is expected and so more thunder/lightning and widespread instability has been forecast. At least temperatures will be on the increase this weekend. Look for daytime highs very close 80 degrees. Overnight lows will be in the upper 50s.
To our west, southern Ohio, northern Kentucky, southern Indiana & Illinois & Missouri will take it on the chin over the weekend! HPC has been spitting out graphics like the one pictured above for the past several days. 3.5 to 5 inches of additional rainfall over the next couple of days.
Don't put that umbrella away! The low pressure system will finally lift north on Monday. But we'll keep a few leftover light rain showers for the first part of next week. Temperatures in the 80s are on tap for the first part of next week. More severe weather will arrive next Wednesday & Thursday.
