Flood Watch
Flood Watch...CORRECTED National Weather Service Blacksburg VA 407 AM EST Fri Feb 22 2019 ...Additional Moderate Rainfall Possible Over the Next Several Days... .A frontal system will remain nearly stationary over the region during the next several days as a series of low pressure systems from the southeastern U.S. track northeast along the boundary. Each system will bring widespread light rain, with periods of moderate rainfall expected at times. This in combination with very saturated soil conditions from repeated recent rainfall during the past several weeks and recent snow and ice melt will lead to increased to excessive runoff of rain water, which will enhance the threat for flooding of creeks and streams, and possibly even mainstem rivers during the next several days into early next week.
