859 PM EDT Thu Jun 10 2021

...A STRONG THUNDERSTORM WILL AFFECT EAST CENTRAL JACKSON COUNTY...

At 855 PM EDT, a strong thunderstorm was located over Ripley. The
storm is nearly stationary.

Winds in excess of 30 mph are possible with this storm.

Locations impacted include...
Ripley and Gay.

This includes Interstate 77 in West Virginia between mile markers 137
and 142.

Conditions in the atmosphere are such that weak, rotation has been
observed in this storm. Rotation or funnels usually develop beneath
showers or weak thunderstorms when the air aloft is especially cold.

These funnels are usually harmless, but on rare occasions can briefly
touch down and cause wind gusts over 50 mph. If a funnel approaches
your location, move indoors.

Torrential rainfall is also occurring with this storm, and may cause
localized flooding. Do not drive your vehicle through flooded
roadways.

Do not drive your vehicle into areas where the water covers the
roadway. The water depth may be too great to allow your car to cross
safely. Move to higher ground.
