PARKERSBURG — Rain gave way to snow Sunday afternoon as a winter weather advisory was mixed in with flood watches and warnings.

Scattered power outages were reported throughout Wood County Sunday afternoon, as well as in portions of Wirt, Jackson, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane and Doddridge counties. The area is served by MonPower, which is part of FirstEnergy. FirstEnergy’s online outage map listed all of these as affecting fewer than 20 customers each, with the causes “pending investigation.” Most had restoration times estimated for Sunday evening, although one outage in Vienna was not expected to be repaired until this morning.

“We’ve had power lines down here and there, had some power outages with traffic lights on Camden Avenue” in Parkersburg, a Wood County 911 supervisor said.

A FirstEnergy representative said Sunday night that there were about 26,000 customers across West Virginia without power, including 220 in Wood, WIrt and Jackson counties due to weather

AEP Ohio’s online outage map showed about 45 customers between Barlow and Vincent without power starting just after 3 p.m.

Earlier in the day, a Wood County 911 supervisor said there had been calls about high water on Core Road near 36th Street and Worthington Golf Course and near Parkview Drive and College Parkway but no major problems were reported.

Washington County Sheriff’s Office dispatchers gave similar assessments of their coverage area Sunday afternoon and evening.

Ohio State Highway Patrol Trooper Cody Quattlebaum said the Marietta post hadn’t responded to any serious accidents Sunday, crediting crews with the Ohio Department of Transportation for keeping roads clear after the afternoon snow.

“ODOT’s been on top of it today,” he said.

Back in West Virginia, a Jackson County 911 dispatcher said there was a report of a downed tree and at least one flooded area but again, no major incidents.

With rain falling the last few days, the National Weather Service issued a flood watch for Saturday morning to late Sunday night for Wood, Wirt, Jackson, Pleasants, Ritchie, Roane, Tyler and Doddridge counties in West Virginia and Washington, Athens, Morgan and Meigs counties in Ohio.

The Wood County 911 Center shared a Weather Service flash flood warning around 5:22 a.m. Sunday that included the southwestern portions of Wood, Wirt and Washington counties, the southern portion of Athens County and Meigs County that was supposed to last until 7:45 a.m. Additional warnings were subsequently issued, with the last being a flood warning from 12:45 to 6:30 p.m. that included Jackson, Wirt and Wood counties in West Virginia and Washington, Athens and Meigs in Ohio. The warning was focused primarily on small stream flooding due to the excessive rainfall.

The Ohio River was expected to crest at 28.8 feet at midnight Tuesday, about 7 feet below flood stage. At Marietta, the crest is projected at 27.3 feet around the same time. Flood stage there is 35 feet.
