Emergency Manager's Decision Support Briefing: Updated: 5:32 AM EDT Tue Feb 13 http://www.weather.gov/media/rlx/briefing/WxBrief2.pdf Hocking River Watershed Stream Gauges and Forecast Hydrographs: http://w8kvk.com/hr Athens OH 7-Day Forecast (updates 4-5 times daily): http://climate.athens.oh.us/Athens-7Day/ ...DISCUSSION... Some patchy freezing drizzle is possible this morning, across southwest Virginia and southern West Virginia, before gradually transitioning to light rain. Otherwise, most of the area will remain dry today, along with warmer temperatures as a southeasterly wind develops. High temperatures today will top out in the mid to upper 40s for most of the area. Clouds will lower and thicken tonight, as a southwest flow of mild and moist air develops. Weak disturbance s will act on this moisture, to produce rounds of rain Wednesday into Friday, when a cold front crosses. That precipitation may end briefly as snow, or a wintry mix, late Friday into Friday night. A dry weekend will follow, as long as the front keeps on moving. Saturday will be seasonably chilly behind the cold front, followed by milder weather for Sunday. More rain is possible early next week, with above normal temperatures. ===================================================================== The "StormFlood" Listserv is a regional preparedness and planning partnership including Ohio University Risk Management and Safety. http://www.ohio.edu/riskandsafety/ Affiliated web services: Southeast Ohio Flood Potential Monitoring page: http://seorf.ohiou.edu/xx073/floodprep.html Athens Co.
