We start off sunny & dry with highs reaching the low 80s in the afternoon. But we'll see increasing afternoon clouds and scattered showers & thunder this evening. Moisture will clear outta here in time to kick off a tranquil weekend with plenty of sunshine & highs in the 70s. Lows will range in the upper 40s to low 50s. Rain returns Monday.

The overnight low here in Morgantown was 48° and that's OK with me!
Our forecast remains sunny and pleasant through the work week as we
mark the arrival of meteorological Fall. Highs will reach the low 70s
this afternoon & another cool clear night is on deck tonight as lows
fall into the 40s again. But afternoon temperatures will become
increasingly warm/humid as lots of warm air surges in from the
southwest. Highs will reach the low 80s Tuesday & upper 80s by
Wednesday. Moisture will return late Friday into the weekend. This
will bring dew points into the low 60s along with our next chance at
rain just in time for your weekend.

Wild, Then Wonderful

Three confirmed EF0 tornadoes in Queens & Brooklyn, NY yesterday! This
map shows yesterday's storm reports, including wind & hail damage.
There were no injuries reported but there were a whole bunch downed
trees & power lines & structural damage. You can read up on each
report on the SPC's website...

Cool, dry air behind the front brought tranquil weather into the mix &
temperatures fell into the low 50s under a starry sky Saturday night!
Today, dew points in the 50s & temperatures in the 60s & low 70s make
for a forecast that is ALMOST HEAVEN across the Mountain State! High
pressure will move into place & remain in our general vicinity through
pretty much all next week. As a result we'll have LOTS of sunshine and
a dry 7 day forecast. The cool air will stick around into the first
half of next week as lows fall into the 40s & highs only reach the low
to mid 70s. Warmer, more humid air will lift into our area by
Wednesday and highs will creep into the low/mid 80s by week's end.
We'll watch the next front slowly prog eastward out of the northern
Rockies & bring our next shot at rain sometime next weekend. Have a
great week & thanks for reading!

From the SPC Saturday:Top left=probability of severe weather. Top right=probability of tornado development. Bottom left= probalility of damaging winds. Bottom right=latest radar image @ 3:00 AM. The strongest threat for tornadoes & damaging wind is well north of our area, PA/NY/NJ. But storms in our vicinity will still pack a punch, especially in the eastern most counties near DC/Baltimore. Stay alert & be ready to seek shelter indoors should severe weather develop.

Low lying clouds are slow to break up over northern WV this morning. Once they clear outta here we're gonna heat things up pretty quickly. Highs will be in the upper 80s & low 90s in spots. Rain & thunder could get going after midnight tonight & carry into the better part of Saturday. Cooler, fall-like temps this weekend.

Thursday will be mainly sunny in the afternoon with highs in the mid
to upper 80s. We still have the tropical air mass leftover from Isaac
lingering across the Mid-Atlantic & Northeast. So our sensible weather
will continue to be on the muggy side and there is a slight chance for
an isolated shower or storm this afternoon. tonight's forecast is
mainly clear with lows dropping into the low 60s. Patch fog will
develop by Friday morning. Otherwise Friday will be mainly sunny and
warm with highs in the upper 80s.

Cooler temps are on the way for this weekend. But that cool down comes
with a cost. We could see showers/storms as early as Friday night as
the next cold front swings through. At the moment Saturday looks
pretty soggy but Sunday will be drier. Temps will be comfortable with
highs in the low 70s & lows in the upper 40s/low 50s! Monday next week
looks sunny & dry with highs in the low 70s.

Check out how much cool air sinks south this weekend!

Partly/mostly cloudy overnight with small chance for isolated showers & storms mainly across our southern & western counties. Still muggy with lows in the mid 60s. Some patchy fog is possible Thursday morning. Hot & humid again Thursday with slight chance for a shower/storm in the afternoon. Rain/storms on tap for this weekend.
