Showers return tonight, warm temperatures continue!
Tonight features increasing clouds with showers likely after midnight. If you’d like to get a good view of the full moon – which is the Pink Moon this month – you’ll have your best viewing just after dark before the clouds have a real chance to thicken up.
With a southwest breeze and clouds thickening up, we will see temperatures only dip back into the mid to upper 40s in what will be a much milder night ahead.
Wednesday begins on a wet note, with scattered showers around, as our cold front crosses. Expect damp conditions for the morning commute as a result. However, as the day goes by, we’ll see conditions become drier, as our cold front exits and high pressure begins to scoot in. High temperatures will be in cooler in the low 60s.
Thursday looks great! After another cold and potentially frosty start with low temperatures in the mid 30s, we will see plenty of sunshine with high pressure in control. Temperatures will jump nearly 30 degrees during the day, with high temperatures in the 60s.
Friday will be dry for most of the day, with mostly sunny skies to start. We’ll see a southwest breeze kick in as our next storm system approaches. A warm front will push through on Friday afternoon, which will give us the chance for a couple of isolated showers late as high temperatures push toward 70 degrees.
Saturday brings a weak cold front through the region, but that won’t be the end of our shower chances, as an unsettled pattern sets in. Despite the front crossing, it’s still a mild day on tap, with high temperatures in the low 70s and our steadiest rains during the morning hours. Rain will become more scattered as we head into the afternoon.

Sunday provides the risk for a few isolated to widely scattered showers but we should see plenty of dry time. It’s a warm day on tap for the two Virginias, as high temperatures spurt into the mid 70s.
Monday keeps the chances for a few showers and perhaps a rumble or two of thunder, but the bigger story will be the heat, as we see high temperatures jump into the low 80s!
Tuesday features a better chance for showers, which could be steady at times as a front crosses through the region, with highs in the mid to upper 70s.
Looking ahead, we are drying back out and staying mild! Wednesday features partly sunny conditions with highs in the mid 70s. We’ll be in similar shape for Thursday with plenty of sunshine and highs in the mid to upper 70s. Friday is trending cooler with an isolated sprinkle or two possible with highs near 70.

We are in spring forest fire season in West Virginia – this means don’t burn between 7 AM and 5 PM through May 31st. Low humidity values during the daytime, along with breezier and warmer conditions will at times increase the fire threat, hence the burn ban during most of the daytime. Follow all regulations or be faced with potential consequences, such as fines! In Virginia, the spring fire season continues through April 30th – don’t burn before 4 PM.
