"What happens over the hills of West Virginia could be the most concerning over that this cold front does," FOX Weather meteorologist Amy Freeze said. "While the showers could dissipate in a lot of these areas, we get the downpours here in the hills and Appalachians, other rolling high elevation surfaces where the water can roll down quickly and create some big problems.

Areas where flooding concerns are highest include parts of western Virginia, eastern and southern West Virginia, western Maryland and parts of south-central Pennsylvania.
