Wheeling, WV — Residents in eastern Ohio, West Virginia, and western Virginia should prepare for a wet and slow commute Monday afternoon as rain spreads across the region.
According to the National Weather Service, light to moderate rain will move into eastern Ohio around 2 PM before spreading into northern West Virginia and western Virginia through the evening. Rainfall will continue steadily, tapering off by midnight, with brief dry periods possible.
While wintry mixes are not expected, wet roads could lead to slick conditions and slower travel times. Commuters across Wheeling, Steubenville, and surrounding areas should plan for delays and consider leaving earlier than usual.
Drivers are encouraged to reduce speeds, maintain safe following distances, and stay cautious during the evening rush hour. Outdoor activities may require rain gear, as showers are expected to persist throughout the evening.
Temperatures will remain above freezing, minimizing any risk of ice. However, localized ponding on roads could occur, so drivers should remain alert.
