...FLOOD WATCH FOR TODAY FOR SOUTH CENTRAL OHIO...

AT 1020 AM EDT SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS WERE MOVING INTO
NORTHEAST KENTUCKY AND SOUTHERN OHIO.  THE STRONGEST STORMS

SOME STREAMS AND CREEKS AROUND THE AREA CONTINUE TO RUN HIGH.
HEAVY DOWNPOURS FROM SOME OF THESE STORMS MAY BRING A RAPID RISE
IN WATER.  PERSONS SHOULD BE AWARE OF THE WEATHER CONDITIONS AROUND
THEM AND BE PREPARED TO MOVE TO HIGHER GROUNDS IF FLOODING IS OBSERVED.

THUNDERSTORMS HAVE MOVED INTO WESTERN PORTIONS OF WEST VIRGINIA AND ARE
MOVING EAST NORTHEAST AT 30 TO 40 MPH.  THESE THUNDERSTORMS WILL MOVE
THROUGH WEST CENTRAL WEST VIRGINIA INCLUDING THE KANAWHA VALLEY DURING
THE NEXT COUPLE HOURS.

BRIEF HEAVY RAINS AND STRONG WINDS CAN BE EXPECTED WITH THESE STORMS.

SOME LOCALIZED PROBLEMS MAY OCCUR IN LOW LYING AREAS ON CREEKS AND
STREAFMS AND BRIEF DRAINAGE PROBLEMS MAY BE EXPERIENCED IN TOWN AND CITY
