042 FXUS61 KRLX 270701 AFDRLX Area Forecast Discussion National Weather Service Charleston WV 301 AM EDT Sat Jun 27 2026 .WHAT HAS CHANGED... Excessive rainfall remains a concern through this evening, though the exact placement of heaviest rainfall remains uncertain. && .KEY MESSAGES... - 1) A front sustains flash flooding concerns through this evening. Thus, a Flood Watch remains in effect for portions of southeast OH, northeast KY, and the WV lowlands. - 2) Heat builds throughout next week, with triple digit heat indices possible in the lowlands from mid to late week. && .DISCUSSION... KEY MESSAGE 1... A front remains stalled over southern Ohio and northern West Virginia, with shortwaves and a surface low helping bolster shower and thunderstorm activity at times today. Precipitation chances linger through Sunday, though coverage should diminish overnight tonight. Precipitable water values hovering around 1.5 to 2 inches will continue to support rounds of moderate to heavy downpours and maintain flash flooding concerns through this evening. Given the continued uncertainty regarding exact placement of heaviest rainfall, a Flood Watch remains in effect for the bulk of the area through the evening. As for severe potential, a few strong to severe thunderstorms are not out of the question today; however, the risk may be lessened by cloud cover and earlier activity. KEY MESSAGE 2... Heat and humidity are expected to increase as an upper ridge builds in from the west early next week and then becomes centered over the Ohio Valley and central Appalachians from mid to late week. Much of the area is likely to experience high temperatures in the 90s through the work week and into the start of the holiday weekend. In the lowlands, there is 60-90 percent probability of at least 90 degree high temperatures from Tuesday through the end of the week, and 40-90 percent probability of at least 95 degree high temperatures Wednesday through Friday. Meanwhile, heat indices may encroach upon triple digits in the lower elevations. && .AVIATION /06Z SATURDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... Ceilings are expected to trend lower towards morning, with MVFR and pockets of IFR likely lingering through the day amid continued rounds of rain and thunderstorms.
