First Alert Weather | Friday, July 26, 2024
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) -- Be on the lookout for some locally dense fog this morning, particularly in the southern valleys. Patchy clouds will gradually permit more and more sunshine on the day, and temperatures will still reach the mid and upper 80s this afternoon. The lower humidity and light northerly breeze will help make that feel a little more palatable outside, and our best weather is reserved for the evening events. We’ll be dropping back down quickly through the 70s and 60s after sunset tonight, a great way to kick-start the upcoming weekend!
