We start August hot with lots of sunshine-no surprises really. Weak disturbances bring threat for isolated thunderstorm activity this afternoon/evening. Clearing overnight with AM fog Tuesday. Partly to mostly cloudy Tuesday. Rain showers & a few storms are possible ahead of a cold front dropping by Tuesday night/Wednesday. Daytime highs will be right around 90, with lows in the mid to upper 60s this week.
Forecast will stay hot and sunny for most of today under a northwest air flow. Highs will be in the low 90s. Look for increasing afternoon clouds, rain showers and an isolated thunderstorm as a weak disturbance rides into town on that NW flow. Limited moisture may simply produce some breezy conditions this afternoon/evening. Any storm cells that do develop will dissipate with sunset. This will leave generally clear skies overnight with lows falling to around 63. Morning fog will develop again into Tuesday morning.
A similar pattern will unfold on Tuesday. We'll start dry and sunny. Highs will be a tick or two high than today, in the low 90s. A second weak disturbance will brush mainly western & central West Virginia Tuesday afternoon. We could squeeze a few showers/isolated thunder out of that during the day. Better rain chances arrive Tuesday night into Wednesday. Breezy conditions and possible heavy downpours will accompany that wave of showers & storms ahead of a cold front timed for Tuesday night/Wednesday. Storms will affect mainly our northern zones with a few chance storms making their way into central & southern West Virginia.
Our forecast for the rest of this week will keep plenty of sunshine and highs in the low 90s. A few hit/miss thunderstorms are possible in the maximum afternoon heating. More widespread cloud coverage, showers and thunderstorms are possible Saturday & Sunday.
A more active tropical weather forecast is beginning to take shape. Tropical Storm Eugene has developed along the southwestern coast of Mexico, heading WNW at 12 MPH. Maximum sustained winds are 60 MPH but forecasters predict Eugene could become a hurricane Tuesday...In the Atlantic, a cluster of strong rain showers and thunderstorms has developed about 300 miles east of the Windward Islands. Forecasters estimate that this system has a strong possibility, 90% of becoming a tropical storm in the next 24-48 hours. Regardless of the fate of this system, it will bring heavy rain and gusty winds to the Caribbean Islands in the next 12 to 24...Will need to watch this system closely.
