A slow-moving cold front will slide through the Appalachians on Monday night.

Ahead of this surface feature, a narrow band of deeper atmospheric moisture will feed scattered thunderstorms in the Appalachians through Monday night.

We're not expecting rainfall totals anywhere near the magnitude of last week's 4-10 inch totals in West Virginia.

However, enough rain could fall to produce some additional flash flooding in areas impacted by the historic flooding last week. Additionally, remaining debris from that flooding could act as small dams with water pooling behind it.


Locally heavier rain totals are possible where bands of rain or thunderstorm clusters stall for a period of a few hours.

Rainfall Forecast Through Tuesday Morning


Only isolated thundershowers are possible Tuesday afternoon as a secondary cold front swings through.

After that, several days of dry weather are in store the rest of the work week, until a threat for more storms arises this weekend.
