Buchanan County residents are advised to exercise extreme caution on roadways due to a Special Weather Statement issued by the National Weather Service (NWS) Charleston, WV. Heavy rain is expected to cause ponding on roads and potential water issues in low-lying areas, particularly impacting Stacy.
This Moderate severity alert is effective immediately, October 11, 2026, at 2:24 PM EDT, and is set to expire at 3:30 PM EDT today. The NWS warns that motorists should be prepared for water on roadways.
For those in hilly terrain, numerous low water crossings become dangerous during heavy rain. The NWS strongly advises against attempting to travel across flooded roads. Find alternate routes, as just a few inches of swiftly flowing water can carry vehicles away.
