Heavy rain will begin on Wednesday and continues through the weekend as a frontal boundary stalls out over the Ohio Valley in a southwest to northeast orientation. Repeated rounds of heavy rain will fall on the same areas bringing significant flooding. The WPC 7-day precipitation forecast highlights the southwestern basin where the highest totals are expected over the next week. This will be a WIDESPREAD, HIGH IMPACT EVENT.
