We'll stay on the southern periphery of a closed low pressure system over the Great Lakes Sunday. This will toss some cloud cover into West Virginia, keeping things on the cool side. But there's only a slight chance of rain across a couple of our northernmost counties this afternoon. Otherwise, temps will stay in the mid/upper 60s under mainly cloudy skies. Tonight, expect gradually clearing skies on the backside of that departing low pressure with lows falling into the mid 40s. This will set us up for another foggy start Monday morning. Then sunshine is on tap for mid-morning into early afternoon with highs closing in on 70°. But a deep trough currently sweeping across the Mississippi River Valley will lift north, effecting our forecast area Monday evening into Tuesday. This system will have plenty of moisture to work with & we could see some locally heavy downpours with minor water problems possible towards the end of the week.

Another cold front will swing in from Canada to bring a sharp cool dwn & chance of rain late in the forecast (next Sunday).
