The National Weather Service has issued the watch for Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Clarion, Fayette, Greene, Indiana, Lawrence, Mercer, Venango, Washington, and Westmoreland counties. <\/p>\n

The watch will remain in effect until 8 p.m. <\/p>\n

The Flood Watch is for Allegheny, Beaver, Fayette, Greene, Washington, and Westmoreland counties along with Monongalia and Preston in West Virginia and Garrett in Maryland. The watch will run through 8 a.m. Monday. Rainfall rates up to two inches per hour are possible, which is enough to flood anywhere that sees that much rain that quickly. <\/p>\n

We will then see a lull in the rain through midday before a broken line of storms likely develops and moves into our area after 2 p.m. This round will feature a severe weather threat with damaging wind the primary concern. Flooding will also be possible in locations that are hit again by downpours. A brief tornado also cannot be ruled out. The severe threat will end by 9 p.m. at the latest.<\/p>\n
