A flash flood watch is in effect until 8 p.m. for the following Braxton, Calhoun, Clay, Jackson (WV), Roane, Boone, Kanawha, Lincoln, Logan and Putnam counties.
Repetitive rounds of showers and thunderstorms have been spreading across the area and could produce localized flooding over already saturated grounds.
Storms can produce an inch of rainfall in an hour which is enough to cause flash flooding. Also watch traditional poor drainage areas for rapid water rises during downpours.
