and West Virginia, including the following areas, in northeast
Kentucky, Boyd, Carter, Greenup and Lawrence KY. In southeast
Ohio, Gallia and Lawrence OH. In southwest Virginia, Buchanan and
Dickenson. In West Virginia, Barbour, Boone, Braxton, Cabell,

* Through Monday morning.

* Additional rounds of rain are expected to occur today and tonight.
The rain will be heavy at times, especially this morning and again
tonight. Total rainfall amounts by Monday morning will likely
range from 2 to 4 inches for much of the area. This will result in
flooding of many creeks, streams, and rivers. High water issues
will likely also develop across some low lying and poor drainage
areas as well. In the highest elevations of the West Virginia
mountains, a melting snowpack will combine with the rainfall
amounts over time which will enhance the flood threat further.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

You should monitor later forecasts and be alert for possible Flood
Warnings. Those living in areas prone to flooding should be prepared
to take action should flooding develop.
