WVZ009-017-019-102345-
Wirt-Ritchie-Wood-
649 PM EDT Thu Sep 10 2026

...HEAVY RAIN WILL AFFECT SOUTHWESTERN RITCHIE...NORTHEASTERN WIRT
AND EAST CENTRAL WOOD COUNTIES...

Locations impacted include...
Harrisville, North Bend State Park, Ellenboro, Cairo, Freeport,
Greencastle, Walker, and Petroleum.

This includes Route 50 in West Virginia between mile markers 35 and
39.

Heavy rain may cause ponding of water on roadways and flooding in
low-lying areas. Between 1 and 2 inches has already fallen.

In hilly terrain there are hundreds of low water crossings which are
potentially dangerous in heavy rain. Do not attempt to travel across
flooded roads. Find alternate routes. It takes only a few inches of
swiftly flowing water to carry vehicles away.
