Mesoscale Precipitation Discussion 0032
NWS Weather Prediction Center College Park MD
445 AM EST Thu Mar 05 2026

Areas affected...southeastern Indiana, southern Ohio, northern
West Virginia

Concerning...Heavy rainfall...Flash flooding possible

Valid 050944Z - 051544Z

Summary...Sensitive ground conditions from prior rainfall could
result in excessive runoff/flash flooding through 15Z/10a eastern
today.

Discussion...Mixed modes of convection (including cells/clusters
and stratiform precipitation) continue to migrate fairly quickly
eastward across the discussion area.  Meanwhile, axes of 2-4
inches of rainfall have occurred over the past 12 hours across
southeastern Indiana (near Columbus) through southern Ohio (near
Hamilton/just north of Cincinnati) and near/south of Columbus. 
FFGs are near zero in portions of these areas, and latest MRMS
Flash data/LSRs suggest local impacts from high water may still be
ongoing in at least a few spots.

Given the fact that FFGs are so low and a shield of stratiform
rainfall exists upstream over southern Illinois/Indiana,
expectation is that additional moderate rainfall (0.2-0.4 inch/hr
rates) will overspread the region from west to east over the next
2-6 hours.  The rain will hinder runoff/subsidence of any ongoing
flooding and may potentially cause additional instances of
excessive runoff.  These conditions may persist through 15Z/10a
eastern this morning.
