A vigorous shortwave disturbance tracked south southeast from the Great Lakes this morning. Dry air aloft has done a good job preventing most of the severe weather from firing across northern West Virginia today. Most severe weather has been limited to areas along the Ohio River. Instead we get a healthy dose of rain today. Low level clouds, rain showers and isolated thunder will linger through the afternoon and evening, especially in the northern portions of our state. Highs will be in the mid 80s across much of the state. Temps will trend closer to 90 further south.


    High pressure will begin to take hold tonight into Wednesday. So skies will begin to clear overnight. Lows will be in the mid 60s. Expecting some fog and haze to develop again tonight into Wednesday morning. Otherwise, high pressure will maintain control over the region during the day Wednesday. Forecast will stay sunny, hot and humid with highs in the mid 90s. This may tie or break some records across the state for daytime highs tomorrow.


    High pressure will erode from the north by Thursday. A series of upper level disturbances will bring occasional showers and thunderstorms Thursday through Saturday. Cold frontal boundary and cloud cover will bring slightly cooler temperatures through the weekend. Highs will be in the upper 80s. Lows will stay in the low to mid 60s. Things will dry out for Sunday and Monday.
