First Alert Weather | Friday, August 16, 2024
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - After another week of largely rain-free skies and higher temperatures, we’re now getting into some murky weather with the weekend on the horizon. Scattered showers and storms will return to the region today, with the risk of downpours in addition to plenty of lulls. A lot of this will be a ‘during-the-day’ thing, with hopefully quieter skies when folks head out on the town tonight. A First Alert Weather Day will be in effect for Saturday, as even though more peeks of sunshine is expected, we’ll be staring at a greater risk for thunderstorms and downpours when the skies do turn dark.
