First full day of summer to feature plenty of summer heat!

Tonight features partly cloudy skies and temperatures dropping into the low to mid 60s. It’s a quiet night with a light easterly breeze.

Friday is our first full day of summer and Mother Nature keeps the heat bearing down on the two Virginias with plenty of sunshine and temperatures spiking to around 90 degrees – western towns will once again jump into the mid 90s and heat index values over much of our region will jump into the low to mid 90s. Beckley has not reached 90 degrees since June 15th, 2022 – there is a good chance we will finally break that two-year old streak this week. Remember to never leave kids in a locked car unattended, and don’t forget both those that may be sensitive to the heat as well as the pets – provide somewhere to keep them cool, preferably inside if possible! If working outside, make sure to take plenty of breaks and consider adding electrolytes to replace what’s lost in your sweat. We have several upcoming days of hot weather ahead.

Saturday begins to see our chances for a couple of showers return in the afternoon, as a frontal system begins to shift south. The proximity of this front, along with heat and humidity, should be enough to provide at least an isolated chance for a storm or two with highs in the low 90s.

Sunday will be a bit more unsettled as a cold front begins to approach from our west. With a more direct southerly flow out ahead of that front, an added touch of humidity and heat will initiate scattered showers and storms in the afternoon, some of which could produce locally heavy rainfall. We’ll see high temperatures in the mid to upper 80s.

Monday continues the unsettled pattern with scattered showers possible with a front crossing. High temperatures will be cooler with the more abundant clouds and showers around as they peak in the mid 80s.

Tuesday features drier air with high pressure taking control. The heat will return as well, with highs jumping up into the mid to upper 80s.

Wednesday continues the partly sunny conditions and the heat with highs in the upper 80s.

Thursday features a few scattered showers and storms with high temperatures pushing up toward 90 degrees.

Looking ahead in your extended forecast, the heat continues! A dry day on Friday with partly sunny skies and highs in the upper 80s preludes more chances for a few isolated showers Saturday and Sunday with highs in the mid to upper 80s.
