The forecast:

"...HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A dual risk of heavy weather exists on Wednesday as heavy rains threaten local high water in the morning while strong winds blow all day long, posing the risk of power flickers and scattered power outs.

The rains will slacken by afternoon from west to east while the winds blow forcefully (30-40 mph gusts) from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. These type of winds do pose the risk of spotty to scattered power hits.

In the rain department, we should see an inch on average across the WSAZ viewing area which will create pockets of street flooding. Small streams will be closely watched for any overflow though most should be able to handle the predicted rain.

So it’s a genuine FIRST ALERT DAY for wind and rain commencing by school bell time and lasting until after the buses hit the road at day’s end..."
