After a chilly start to our Wednesday we can now expect lots of sunshine and dry conditions through the short term. Very few clouds will do little to insulate the lower levels of our atmosphere and with relatively calm conditions expected through the overnight we can expect temperatures to fall into the lower 30s once again. Expect patchy frost and another chilly morning on Thursday. Otherwise we’ve got lots of sunshine and much warmer temps in store for Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Despite the fact that Gov. Manchin has lifted the fire ban, we should all exercise caution while burning through the rest of April. Low relative humidity and low dew points across the state equal moderate fire hazard. On the other hand, rain showers and potentially strong thunderstorms are expected to arrive from our southwest late Saturday. Heavy rain could be associated with that weather system. Will discuss Saturday/Sunday’s weather in more detail later. Although the heaviest rainfall will be realized to our southwest, we’ll need to keep an eye on the sky Saturday afternoon & evening so as to avoid a situation.
5 Day rainfall totals...Looks like the heaviest rain will fall to our SW. We could see a mere inch Saturday night with more Sunday & Monday.
