Flooding possible in Valley over weekend

Measures are in place to prevent flooding problems, despite a flood watch through Sunday and the possibility of 1.5 inches of rain in that time.

Because of already saturated ground due to melted snow, the National Weather Service is reporting that any rainfall in the next few days will become runoff causing flooding in some areas.

Mahoning and Trumbull counties are among nearly 30 counties under a flood watch through Sunday.

The Army Corps of Engineers in Pittsburgh, however, has been lowering its 16 reservoirs since February to accommodate snow and rainwater runoff.
