## extract

Special Weather Statement — Meigs; Gallia; Mason; Jackson; Wood; Roane; Wirt; Calhoun; Ritchie; Gilmer; Lewis
Severity: Moderate. Certainty: Observed.
A cluster of heavy showers producing rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches
per hour will continue to shift slowly to the east-southeast this
evening.

Locations impacted include...
Point Pleasant, Ripley, Spencer, Pomeroy, Glenville, Elizabeth,
Racine, Grantsville, Ravenswood, New Haven, Mason, Sandyville,
Middleport, Syracuse, Hartford City, Henderson, Reedy, Cheshire,
Cherry, and Smithville.

This includes Interstate 77 in West Virginia between mile markers 131
and 165.

Heavy rain may cause ponding of water on roadways and flooding in
low-lying areas.

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.
