Northerly air flow aloft brings refreshing temperatures today and tomorrow. Rain chances and warmer air is on tap for Wednesday. We'll keep rain in the forecast Thursday & Friday. Low pressure will finally make an exit by early Saturday. ETA on another big warm up is next Wednesday.

    For today, it's a sun/cloud mix early with clearing skies into this afternoon & evening. Upper air flow out of the north allowing lots of cool air to mix in with surface temps. Highs will reach a modest 75. Thick valley fog will develop overnight. Otherwise, skies will be generally clear. Lows fall to around 50 tonight.

    Plenty of sunshine is in the forecast for Tuesday. Temperatures will stay pleasant with highs in the low to mid 70s. Weak low pressure will encroach on the northern sections and the Eastern Panhandle Tuesday evening. So these zones may see a drop of rain Tuesday evening. Low will then push northeast leaving generally clear skies Tuesday night into early Wednesday.

    Stronger low pressure will make its way into the Great Lakes region during the day Wednesday. Expect increasing cloud cover, showers and a few thunderstorms Wednesday afternoon & evening. Warmer temperatures are also in store as the upper air flow turns southwest ahead of the front. We'll be in the warm sector from Wednesday into next week. Clouds, rain and thunder will stay in the forecast Thursday, Friday and early Saturday as that low stalls over the Appalachians. Rain ends Saturday evening. Even warmer temperatures are in store by midweek next week.

     Yet another hot humid day with afternoon popcorn thunderstorms into tonight & Saturday. Skies will offer some sunshine early with highs around 90 again today. Clouds will be on the increase ahead of a cold frontal boundary tracking across the southern Great Lakes early this morning. Radar depicts storm activity with embedded thunder as far south as I-70 in southeastern Ohio. This will bring a round of showers and storms to northernmost portions of West Virginia by mid afternoon.

      Occasional storms will continue to fire across the Mid-Atlantic states this evening and overnight. Storms could produce heavy rain which would create more water concerns along creeks and streams. A flash flood watch for central West Virginia & eastern Ohio from last night was extended into this evening. Humid conditions with fog and haze will stay with us overnight. Lows tonight will fall into the mid 60s.

      We can pretty much copy and paste the same forecast in for Saturday. We'll put up with one more day of hot & humid conditions with highs around 90. Saturday will not be a total loss but more severe weather is on track for Saturday night. Lots of low level moisture & daytime heating will clash with a cold frontal boundary Saturday night. This will bring another round of potentially severe weather & flooding concerns to our area. Slow-moving or stationary storms would further irritate any existing water problems Saturday night. Lows fall to the low to mid 60s. But cooler air awaits!

      High pressure will usher in a real nice punch of dry air for Sunday. A few leftover showers and low level clouds will linger in the mountains Sunday morning...clearing by noon. Otherwise we have sunny dry conditions with dew points falling back down into the low 50s & upper 40s. Highs will be in the upper 70s Sunday, and then in the low 70s Monday! Generally clear and mild conditions prevail next week until POPs increase Wednesday night/Thursday.

    It's another hot, muggy day today with highs around 90. Skies stay mostly sunny during the day. But daytime heating & lots of moist will combine with a weak frontal boundary to bring rain late day showers and thunderstorms to parts of the Midwest, Ohio Valley and northeast. Convective storms are forecast to become organized and spread south into portions of northern West Virginia this evening. NWS has issued a severe thunderstorm warning to expire at 8 PM for nearly all of West Viriginia, eastern OH and parts of PA. Primary threats to our area will be damaging wind and hail.

    Any storms would bring welcome rain & help displace much of the heat of the day. Showers and isolated thunder is expected to continue into tonight. Lows will fall into the low to mid 60s.

    Frontal boundary will waiver over the Appalachians Friday & gradually lift north later Friday. Skies will stay mostly cloudy with just a few peaks of sunshine during the day. Hot forecast with occasional showers and storms will continue Friday and Saturday. Highs will be in the low 90s both days.

    Cold front will arrive Saturday night with more showers and possible severe weather into early Sunday. Then slightly cooler temperatures and drier air will round out our forecast for Sunday PM & for the first few days of next week.

    Another sunny hot forecast today with lots of sunshine. Highs in the mid 90s will likely break a few records across the state today and perhaps Thursday as well. Heat advisories are still in effect for much of the east. But slightly cooler temperatures will make their way into the forecast by the end of the weekend.

    We stay dry through tonight. Lows will be in the mid 60s under mostly clear skies. Some isolated fog and haze will creep into the early hours Thursday. But the forecast will still be sunny and humid for most of the day. Highs will again reach the mid 90s.  A weak frontal boundary will sweep through the region Thursday night. This will bring occaional showers and thunderstorms Thursday night, Friday and into the weekend. Skies will be mostly cloudy from Thursday night through early Sunday.

    Once we get through the record-breaking midweek tempeatures, daytime heating be kept in check for the weekend. Highs will only be in the mid to upper 80s. We'll dry out with average temperatures for Sunday and Monday. Extended forecast is hinting at another rainmaker by Thursday next week.

   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.

    We get lots of sunshine again today with highs in the mid 80s. Things really begin to heat up for the rest of the country as lots of warm, dry continental tropical air lifts north. Drought and wildfires are already beginning to make headlines across the south. This trend will continue with little in the way of relief in sight.

    Meanwhile, a weak warm front will lift north into the Ohio Valley tonight. This may squeeze a rain drop or two across the northern zones. Limited moisture aloft will keep rain chances elsewhere at a minimum. Fog and haze will be more widespread tonight and early Tuesday. Lows will be around 60 with upper 50s in some of the valleys overnight.

    Widespread thunderstorms will be firing off during the day on Tuesday. Highs will close in on 90 tomorrow. Plenty of warm air & moisture will be available, making for another busy day for forecasters and storm chasers. A few storms may sag far enough south for some severe weather threats to be warranted for our area Tuesday afternoon.

    Once the initial frontal boundary passes late Tuesday, any leftover rain showers will be fragmented and short-lived. Otherwise things will begin to dry out after sunset. Just a few broken clouds will linger overnight into Wednesday morning. Lows will be in the mid 60s.

    More hot and humid weather is on tap for Wednesday and Thursday. Forecast will stay generally dry with highs in the low 90s with lows in the mid to upper 60s. Plenty of sunshine is still in the forecast for Wednesday into most of Thrusday. But deeper moisture and cold frontal boundary will cross to our north Thursday evening & overnight. This will toss more rain showers and isolated thunderstorms into our area Thursday night and Friday. Hot, humid forecast with rain/thunderstorm chances last into the weekend.

    Forecast for today is mostly sunny with a chance of awesome! Just a few high level cirrus clouds are creeping into the region ahead of a weak approaching cold front today. Otherwise high pressure continues to camp over the Great Lakes & Mid-Atlantic states. Conditions at the surface and aloft will stay very dry with highs around 80. Watch for a pretty sunset tonight with lows falling into the upper 40s.

    We'll see a good deal of sunshine across the area early Saturday. Cold frontal boundary will push through Saturday night/Sunday. Best chance of a raindrop & isolated thunderstorm will be during this time. Expect more humid air to move in during the day with highs in the low to mid 80s. So look for increasing clouds with strenghtening winds as the day progresses. Lows will be in the low 60s.

    On Sunday, any leftover showers will dry out fairly quickly. Cloud deck will erode from west to east, leaving plenty of dry air into next Monday. Hot and humid forecast returns Tuesday. Increasing moisture will allow for a few stray thunderstorms to develop in the afternoon & evening hours Tuesday through Thursday. Otherwise forecast will stay mostly sunny with temperatures topping out in theupper 80s, edging close to 90.
