Forecast Discussion

Flood Warning until March 6, 11:00 AM EST

A warm and unsettled pattern continues today as morning thunderstorms gradually diminish, though saturated soils remain a concern. A Flood Warning is in effect for Athens County, with runoff from recent heavy rainfall keeping creeks, low‑lying roads, and poor‑drainage areas vulnerable to flooding through the day. Skies clear somewhat tonight before another surge of moisture arrives Saturday.

Saturday brings a stronger push of southwest flow ahead of the upper‑level trough, supporting widespread afternoon thunderstorms with gusty winds and locally heavy rainfall. Storm chances persist into Saturday night before the trough shifts east and drier, cooler air settles in for Sunday. High pressure then brings quiet weather Sunday and Monday, with the next system approaching late Monday night into Tuesday. Stay safe!
