SERIES OF LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS WILL RIDE ALONG THE FRONT...BRINGING 
ABUNDANT MOISTURE INTO THE OHIO VALLEY. AS A RESULT...RAIN IS

THROUGH TODAY AND INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.

THE RAIN MAY BE HEAVY AT TIMES...ESPECIALLY TONIGHT. RAINFALL 
AMOUNTS OF ONE TO TWO INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE TODAY THROUGH 
WEDNESDAY MORNING IN THE FLOOD WATCH AREA. SINCE THE GROUND IS 
ALREADY SATURATED FROM THE RAINS THAT FELL LAST WEEKEND...ANY 
PERSISTENT OR HEAVY RAIN WILL LEAD TO RAPID RISES ON AREA STREAMS 
AND RIVERS.

A FLOOD WATCH MEANS THAT FLOODING OF SMALL STREAMS, CREEKS AND OTHER 
DRAINAGE AREAS IS POSSIBLE WITHIN THE WATCH AREA. PEOPLE IN THE WATCH
AREA SHOULD KEEP AN EYE ON THE WEATHER AND BE PREPARED FOR IMMEDIATE 
ACTION SHOULD HEAVY RAINS AND FLOODING OCCUR OR A FLASH FLOOD WARNING
BE ISSUED.
