Wild Wonderful & Wet Weekend

High pressure and above average temperatures made most of this week’s weather bearable especially compared to the steady snowfall we’ve had thus far in 2010. However a good deal of that snow still remains on the ground as we get set to start the weekend. Saturday’s forecast remains mild with temps reaching the mid 40’s. Chance of rain returns Saturday night and Sunday morning as some wet weather moves our way from the south. This system could potentially drop up to half an inch of rain onto our area before noon on Sunday. So with existing snow melting with that rainfall, folks will want to watch water levels in and around creek beds especially in the southeastern portions of West Virginia. Watch for potential advisories to be posted later this weekend. Next week also looks mild with high pressure building back into our area and slightly above average temps. The chance of precipitation returns for Thursday. Stay tuned!
