Not much on the radar this morning. We could see a few isolated thunderstorms today although most of the convective potential will stay further south, around Huntington & Charleston through this evening. The possibility of precipitation will increase early Saturday morning as the next wave of upper air disturbances passes over the Great Lakes this weekend. It is difficult to pinpoint the timing and location of each disturbance. Some weather models tend to push the front further south. So depending on the exact track of the front, central and southern counties could see few (or no rain) showers.
The main front will begin to move northeast on Saturday. But we’ll still see abundant moisture from that system on Saturday night and Sunday. Again, rain showers and a few thunderstorms will initially be confined to the northernmost counties until perhaps mid-morning when showers will break out across the northern half of the state. Subsequently, heavier rainfall totals will be measured in the northern counties. While less and less rainfall will be realized in the southernmost counties this weekend.
Temperatures this weekend will continue to reach the mid to upper 80s. As low pressure unfurls across the Great Lakes and the eastern U.S. this weekend another brief wave of moisture is ushered in for Monday afternoon and evening. High pressure and slightly cooler air will build into the area briefly on Tuesday.
