...FLASH FLOOD WARNING REMAINS IN EFFECT UNTIL 130 AM EDT EARLY THIS 
MORNING FOR WEST CENTRAL WASHINGTON COUNTY...

At 1258 AM EDT, Doppler radar indicated thunderstorms producing 
heavy rain across the warned area. Between 1.5 and 2.5 inches of 
rain have fallen. Flash flooding is ongoing or expected to begin 
shortly.

HAZARD...Flash flooding caused by thunderstorms.

SOURCE...Radar.

IMPACT...Flash flooding of small creeks and streams, urban areas,
         highways, streets and underpasses as well as other poor
         drainage and low-lying areas.

Some locations that will experience flash flooding include...
  Fleming.

This includes the following streams and drainages...
  West Branch Little Hocking, Little Hocking River, Wildcat Run, 
  Hocking River, Long Brook, West Branch Little Hocking River, 
  Little West Branch, Laurel Run, West Branch, Big Run, Little West 
  Branch Little Hocking River, Gilbert Run, Tupper Creek, Southwest 
  Fork, West Branch LIttle Hocking, Southwest Fork South Branch Wolf 
  Creek, South Branch Wolf Creek and Plum Run.

PRECAUTIONARY/PREPAREDNESS ACTIONS...

Turn around, don't drown when encountering flooded roads. Most flood 
deaths occur in vehicles.

Be especially cautious at night when it is harder to recognize the 
dangers of flooding.

Be aware of your surroundings and do not drive on flooded roads.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are 
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to cross flooded 
roads. Find an alternate route.

Report flooding to the National Weather Service by calling toll 
free, 800 401 9535, when you can do so safely.

AREA FORECAST DISCUSSION
National Weather Service Charleston WV
736 PM EDT Sun Jun 26 2022

.SYNOPSIS...
Multiple rounds of showers and storms expected this afternoon
through the overnight ahead of a cold front. Drier, and
initially cooler to start the new work week.

&&

.NEAR TERM /THROUGH MONDAY/...
As of 615 PM Sunday...

Looking at current radar not much in the way of activity as of
now. Really only that small line segment that has moved through
the Charleston area and headed toward the higher terrain that is
still active. There area a few storms to the north near
Clarksburg, but are quickly dissipating. Overall, adjusted POPs
to meet current observations and trends and sped up the front
just a little as it already nears our Ohio counties. Also,
raised winds slightly to account for frontal passage. Chances of
thunderstorms will exist until the front exits the mountains by
roughly late morning. The rest of the forecast is on track.

As of 120 PM Sunday...

Clouds associated with convective debris, as well as lingering
showers/storms associated with a mid-level continue to conspire to
keep insolation fairly muted, with the exception of E KY and SE OH.
Subsidence associated with a mid-level wave that passed this morning
responsible for locally heavy showers and thunderstorms will begin
to shift off the east as a second leading shortwave approaches this
afternoon. This should serve as a focus for the initial line of
afternoon convection, developing across SE OH and E KY by 2-3PM.
Significant (1500-2500J/kg MLCAPE) will be limited to a fairly
narrow corridor restricted by the aforementioned cloudiness,
generally associated with weak (10-20KT) deep layer shear, so not
expecting much in the way of storm organization beyond enough
updraft/downdraft separation to sustain as a weak multicellular
cluster. The main threats with this activity will be locally heavy
to very heavy rainfall with slow moving convective cores that could
quickly surpass flash flood guidance over a limited area, along with
locally gusty winds associated with modest cold pool amalgamation or
convective core drops. As this area of convection slowly shifts off
to the southeast late this afternoon into this evening it will be
moving into an increasingly unfavorable environment that has already
been turned over this morning and has struggled to warm up. As a
result, would expect these storms to weaken quickly as they approach
a line from Charleston to Clintwood.

An additional area of showers and thunderstorms is expected
overnight to night as a cold front works its way through the region.
While shear will be a bit stronger with this round of storms,
approaching 30KTs, the elevated nature of the storms and limited
instability should yield minimal threats of strong or severe storms.
With storm motions that will roughly parallel the front, some
training will be possible with this elevated activity, and if this
occurs over locations that already received a significant amount of
rain today, additional localized flash flooding is possible. The
front largely clears the region to the south and east by daybreak
Monday with drier and cooler air advecting into the region.

&&

.SHORT TERM /MONDAY NIGHT THROUGH WEDNESDAY NIGHT/...
As of 120 PM Sunday...

Surface high pressure and very dry air aloft yields quiet
conditions Monday night through Wednesday night as dew point
values fall into the mid 40s. Daytime highs Tuesday will rise
into the upper 70s to lower 80s, increasing to mid 80s on
Wednesday.

&&

.LONG TERM /THURSDAY THROUGH SUNDAY/...
As of 120 PM Sunday...

Surface high pressure begins to weaken Wednesday night into Thursday
with increasing southwesterly flow beginning to advect the Gulf
moisture plume that had been lingering just south of the region
slowly back into the region. Coincident with this, a slow moving
cold front associated with an area of low pressure transiting Hudson
Bay looks to approach, and then stall across the region heading into
Friday and lingering into the weekend. This slow moving boundary,
coupled with diurnal heating will provide a focus for daily showers
and thunderstorms. In an environment characterized by precipitable
water values 1.5 to 2", marginal mid-level lapse rates yielding deep
and skinny conditional instability profiles, and storm motions that
would parallel the slow moving boundary yielding at least some
potential for training, think hydro issues will be the primary
concern.

&&

.AVIATION /00Z MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY/...
As of 735 PM Sunday...

Currently, things have quieted down for terminals after this
2nd wave has come to an end. The final wave is yet to happen
which will be initiated along the cold front to our west as it
approaches, but it should not be as bad as the previous wave.
As this feature passes through the western terminals may see
some shower/storm activity first, then clear out by 7Z.

Surface flow changes direction to out of the northwest upon
frontal passage. With cloud coverage, timing of frontal passage
and elevated winds at the surface, not much in the way of fog
development for overnight into tomorrow morning even with any
breaks in cloud coverage.

Some restrictions will be possible near the eastern terminals
under showers/storms until the front exits, which may affect
sites with MVFR VIS/CIGs temporarily. The front exits around
late morning and leaves behind northwesterly flow with little to
no clouds in the sky which will promote area-wide VFR by 13Z.

FORECAST CONFIDENCE AND ALTERNATE SCENARIOS THROUGH 00Z TUESDAY...

FORECAST CONFIDENCE: Medium.

ALTERNATE SCENARIOS: Any direct hit from a shower/storm could
promote lower VIS than what is stated in the TAFs.
