Wheel In The Sky

We’ve got plenty of sunshine and mild temperatures on tap for Tuesday. Warm front moves through the region today. Otherwise, there’s not much to talk about for north central West Virginia. Attention will turn to a strong low pressure system with lots of moisture energizing in the Midwest. This system, on a fast track to your back yard will bring heavy downpours and thunderstorms late tonight and Wednesday. We could potentially see some flash flooding problems developing with that storm which will contain several waves of heavy downpours. Luckily that system will roll quickly across the region. So hopefully less rainfall will be realized depending on the speed of the actual front. Nonetheless look for breezy conditions and periods of rain to last for much of the day Wednesday.

High pressure will move in overnight and push that messy low pressure system northeastward towards the Atlantic coast. With winds becoming quite calm overnight Wednesday/Thursday, we may have a foggy start to our Thursday. An early morning June sunrise will burn any lingering moisture off leaving another calm and sunny day on Thursday.

Temperatures will gradually begin to tip the scales again. We’ll see abundant sunshine and low 80s Thursday. A few clouds roll in Friday. Temps reach the mid 80s. We’ll see a few peaks of sunshine and temps in the upper 80s Saturday. Plan on a few isolated showers and thunderstorms this weekend.

Lots of hot air
