A few storms still in store for NCWV
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - Good Morning NCWV! We are wrapping up another work week and with that this rainfall is wrapping up as well! We did see rain showers and storms very early this morning in the lowlands and there are still a few remnant showers in Webster and Randolph counties. There is still chances for a stray shower or two towards our more mountainous region as we move on throughout the rest of the morning and get into the afternoon hours, but other than that, today is expected to remain relatively dry until the evening hours when we see another frontal system enter the area and bring more rainfall and storms into NCWV. The bigger story for today however is these temperatures! With highs in the lowlands getting back into the low 90s, heat indexes are near 100° so take precautions if you’re working outside at all this weekend because even with a slight decrease in temperatures tomorrow, heat indexes are still in the mid 90s. Take frequent breaks and drink lots of water. Daniel Niemasz has all of this and more on your First Alert Forecast!

First Alert Forecast | Another Hot And Humid Day
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - It was another morning in the mid-70s across the region, with high humidity already lending that steam-bath feel to all. We’ll be cruising through the 80s at lunchtime, if not 90-degrees itself, and that’s before adding the influence of humidity to the mix. A Heat Advisory will be in effect in the Huntington-Charleston corridor and parts of the southern coalfields as Heat Index values will reach triple digits before approaching showers provide some relief. We’ll be tracking a line of thundery downpours approach our western counties in Kentucky near midday, then seeing it progress through the rest of the area to the east during the afternoon. Downpours with lightning will affect afternoon events and backyard barbecues, adding as much as another inch or two of rain in some of the stronger cores. By evening, we’ll be seeing those showers exiting to the east and improving skies settling in time for the prime-time events at the festivals. The humidity will remain high right through tomorrow morning.
