First Alert Forecast | Rain, Thunder Returns
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Lighter showers scattered through during the morning drive, but steadier rains and rumbles are coming through once most folks are where they need to be (at school or at the office).

Temperatures will hang in the 80s this afternoon (not 90s this time), and drift back to the lower 70s by tomorrow morning.
