Forecast Discussion

A Flood Watch is in effect for Athens, OH from April 3rd at 2:00 AM until April 6th at 8:00 AM. This flooding is a result of excessive rainfall we will see over the next few days. Higher localized flooding amounts are possible and low-lying and flood-prone locations are most at risk. Be sure to monitor later forecasts and stay alert for possible Flood Warnings and remember, turn around don’t drown!

Rainfall will continue throughout Thursday. Friday will be cooler and cloudy, with occasional rain and thunderstorms persisting throughout the day. On Saturday, temperatures will rise again, accompanied by heavy rain and storms, particularly in the afternoon. Sunday will see a return to cooler conditions, with morning rain and thunderstorms gradually giving way to overcast skies.
