First Alert Weather | Back To Deep-Summer Heat
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - It seems like such a faded memory all of a sudden that last week started many days in the “chilly” 40s. Though this morning began with the more comfortable 60s, we’ll be quickly heating up in this broad sunshine.

We’ll stay in the 80s well past sunset, only eventually cooling down to the 60s tomorrow morning.
