Barbour, WV Fire Weather Outlook

 .DISCUSSION...
 Rain associated with a low pressure system and an associated warm 
 front continues overnight and could be heavy in spots. Localized 
 flooding remains possible, particularly in locations impacted by 
 heavy rain over the last several days. A Flood Watch remains in 
 effect for northeast Kentucky, far western West Virginia, and 
 southeast Ohio this morning. 
 
 After a brief break in rainfall later this morning, scattered 
 showers and thunderstorms will develop this afternoon, with even the 
 potential for a severe storm or two. The main hazards will be strong 
 winds and perhaps an isolated tornado. Locally heavy rain could lead 
 to additional flooding concerns. 
 
 Additional rounds of showers are likely each day of the remainder of 
 the Memorial Day holiday weekend, with mainly afternoon and evening 
 thunderstorms also possible. Temperatures will recover to near 
 normal this afternoon, with a few degrees above normal beginning 
 Sunday. Unsettled weather looks to continue for the start of the new 
 work week as well, but may finally start to settle down later in the 
 week, as high pressure builds surface and aloft to the northeast of 
 the Ohio Valley.
