One more day this week with the chance of rain
PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) - Our week has been quite cloudy with sporadic showers and heavy downpours moving through. The rain has been needed here in the Mid-Ohio Valley as drought conditions persist, but one county seems to have picked up more rain than it has needed. That county is Washington County in Ohio. It has had two straight evenings with decent rainfall totals and a few spots picking up torrential downpours leading to some localized flooding. Now, a new drought monitor will be released this morning. We do not expect most of the Mid-Ohio Valley to be taken out of the drought category, but we do see some of the region improving a cut out of the severe drought category. More rain is definitely needed, and, in fact, we will see shower and thunderstorm chances return next week.
