Showers and storms this weekend continues into the new week
Saturday continues our threat for scattered showers and thunderstorms as our cold front slows down and takes its sweet time crossing through the area and an area of low pressure moves along that front. The abundant clouds and showers that are expected as a result won’t result in much in the way of thunderstorm activity, but rain, which could be steady at times, is expected. We’ll see high temperatures in the upper 60s to around 70 degrees in what will be a soggy and humid day. Temperatures overnight once again won’t drop much – only to around 60 degrees, with humid air in place.
Sunday continues our chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms, though the coverage of those storms will not be quite as widespread as on Saturday with our front scooting off to our east. However, downpours will once again be slow-moving, so the threat for very localized heavy rainfall will continue. With a few peaks of sun expected in between showers and storms, high temperatures will rebound into the mid 70s.
Monday continues the risk for at least a few showers with a secondary cold front approaching and then stalling. As a result, with clouds and occasional showers around, we will see high temperatures in the low to mid 70s.
Tuesday will provide more chances for scattered showers and thunderstorms, with Monday’s front lifting back up to the north as a warm front. Coverage of thunderstorms Tuesday should be less than on Monday, but will still be scattered with high temperatures in the low to mid 70s.
Wednesday will keep the risk for a few storms with a warm and humid air mass in place as our next cold front approaches. We’ll see high temperatures near 80 degrees. A strong cold front will approach late in the day, which will be the focus for severe weather farther west of us. We’ll watch closely if any of these storms can keep their strength as they approach us, but at this point, our severe weather threat looks relatively low overall.
How Cold is Too Cold? Spring Planting Guide
Thursday continues our unsettled pattern with the risk for more scattered showers and thunderstorms with yet another area of low pressure nearby across the Great Lakes. High temperatures will be in the mid 70s.
Friday keeps our chances for rain around, but there is light finally at the end of the tunnel! A cold front will scoot through and there is drier air behind it, which looks to make for decent weekend conditions! High temperatures will be in the mid 70s.
Looking ahead, our unsettled weather pattern does continue, but it’s not looking as wet as the previous days, with isolated showers and storms expected Saturday and Sunday before we dry out on Monday. High temperatures on Saturday will be near 70 with 60s expected Sunday into Monday.

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!
