Flash Flood Watch issued for the central Shenandoah Valley

(Friday 7/10 pm)
A Flash Flood Watch has been issued for parts of the central Shenandoah Valley through Saturday afternoon...

A wave of low pressure currently over the Ohio Valley will ride east and eventually east-south-east into the area overnight.  Heaviest rain in the Valley will fall between midnight and 10 am Saturday before tapering off in the afternoon.
There will be a skinny area that sees 1-2+" of rain.  It's tough to pinpoint exactly where this sets up but I the RGEM below gives a general idea.  This amount of rainfall on top of saturated soils will cause at least some concern for flash flooding.  Much nicer weather Sunday to end the weekend.
