Fairmont paving project has historic implications
FAIRMONT — One need not pave over history to make the ride smoother, Fairmont City Manager Travis Blosser told city council members last week. With bids set to go out for a paving project for Fairmont's streets downtown and East Side, one thoroughfare in particular will receive some historic attention, he said. Sections of Adams Street, the city's main drag, are showing bricks dating back to the city's streetcar days, and Blosser and others prefer they not be paved over in the leveling work. 'Those will be saved and provided either to the city or the Marion County Museum for a future project,' he said during last Tuesday's city council meeting. The bricks will be used for a project or commemoration of some sort honoring civic history, he said. 'People were concerned,' he said. All the streets marked for paving are in actuality state roads maintained by West Virginia's Division of Highways. Those include Adams, Quincy and Jefferson streets downtown, and East Side's heavily traveled Merchant Street on the other side of the Monongahela River. In all, the DOH is responsible for 21 roadways that make up the downtown grid and greater Fairmont. Bids are due to the state by mid-July, the city manager said, with all paving set to be complete by fall. Look for portions of Adams Street to also receive new storm drains, Blosser added. Smooth pavement, the city manager said, only adds to infrastructure-quality of life. 'Our roads have been a washboard,' he said. The city, meanwhile, was turned into a not-so-fun waterpark ride, Blosser said, during the torrential downpours and widespread flash-flooding that hit Father's Day. Gov. Patrick Morrisey, in response to the deluge, issued a disaster declaration for Marion County. While property was lost, no injuries or deaths were reported, and Blosser praised everyone from first responders to concerned neighbors for that.

Severe Storm Threat Expected Tuesday Across Maryland
Storms are expected to end July in Maryland Storms are expected to end July in Maryland Storms are expected to end July in Maryland Isolated strong to severe thunderstorms remain possible across parts of Maryland this evening, primarily west of the I-95 corridor. While not everyone will see storms, those that do develop may produce damaging wind gusts and heavy downpours. Temperatures, after climbing to around 90 degrees this afternoon, will gradually fall into the 70s overnight. Any lingering storm activity is expected to diminish after sunset. Tuesday Alert Day for Severe Weather A more widespread and potentially more impactful round of severe weather is expected Tuesday. The WJZ First Alert Weather Team has issued an Alert Day due to the increased threat for damaging winds and localized flooding. Storms are forecast to develop by mid-afternoon and will progress eastward through the evening hours, affecting the Baltimore metro area during the evening commute and reaching the Eastern Shore before tapering off after sunset. High temperatures Tuesday will once again reach near 90 degrees, with heat index values approaching 100 prior to the arrival of storms. In addition to damaging winds, "training" thunderstorms — storms repeatedly moving over the same areas — could result in isolated flooding. Improving Conditions for July 4th Week The unsettled pattern will begin to ease Wednesday, though a lingering chance for showers or a thunderstorm remains across southern Maryland and the lower Eastern Shore. Elsewhere, dry conditions are expected with highs in the upper 80s and slightly reduced humidity. The forecast improves further for Thursday and Independence Day. Nights will feel more comfortable, with lows dipping into the upper 60s, while afternoon highs stay in the upper 80s under mostly sunny skies. Looking Ahead: Warm, Mostly Dry Weekend Dry and sunny conditions will continue into the weekend, with highs near 90. Humidity will gradually build back in, and nighttime temperatures will trend milder — generally in the low to mid 70s. The next chance for storms returns early next week as the pattern turns more unsettled again.

Officials begin assessing flood damage in Marion
FAIRMONT — Damage assessments are now officially underway in Fairmont and Marion County, a week after flash floods swamped basements, submerged roadways and caused the partial collapse of an apartment building. Local emergency response officials spent Monday touring flood-ravaged areas with representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency and West Virginia National Guard. The guard's soldiers were among the first responders on the scene – which Adjutant Gen. Jim Seward said he appreciates, both for the response time and the idea of neighbors helping neighbors. 'We have troops and units who can respond from their homes,' the general said last week in Fairmont during an appearance with Gov. Patrick Morrisey. 'I thank the first responders that are here in the community,' the general said, 'because that's where the work happens.' Close to 170 Army and Air Force guard members from engineering and military police companies have been deployed to both Marion and Ohio counties, Seward said. The sudden storm on Father's Day dropped three inches of rain on Fairmont and Marion County in 30 minutes – and it was worse the evening before in Ohio County, where eight people died in the deluge there. In outlying Marion County as of Friday, Sycamore Hollow Road near Worthington remained the only road closed from the flooding, according to reports from the Division of Highways. Crews from the West Virginia Conservation Agency have also gone to work on the streams and creeks that jumped their banks while the storm raged. Meanwhile, the region this week is battening down for weather of a decidedly different kind. Temperatures were expected to crest at a near-record high of 96 Tuesday. Look for another high of 92 on Wednesday, the forecaster said. After that, the mercury will make a slight dip into the 80s for the rest of the week, with the threat of thunderstorms ever-present.
