FIRST ALERT: Heat continues, relief comes over the weekend
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - Elkins was able to break their record high temperature today, reaching 93°, surpassing the 92° record set in 1993. Meanwhile, Clarksburg tied their record high of 98° from 1948. Morgantown could have potentially broken their record of 95° from 1953, but a tie was all we could get, thanks to afternoon thunderstorms. Storms will continue moving north-to-south this evening, losing energy past sunset, dissipating by about 2am. Convective thunderstorms are possible Thursday afternoon, mainly focused in the higher elevations, but some lowland locations could get lucky enough to see a stray storm or two. Chances of convection Friday afternoon are very low, though non-zero; again, chances are highest in the mountains. Temperatures through Friday will stay well into the 90s in the lowlands, keeping our First Alert Weather Event active. Come Saturday, a cold front will start to bring relief. Temperatures might be able to stay below 90°, but it will still be humid, as a cold front approaches with scattered showers and thunderstorms. A few stray storms are likely Saturday morning, and they will become more numerous in the afternoon. These storms could wield some heavy rain, but flooding will not be an issue given the ongoing drought. We really need that rain! Lighter showers will continue into at least the first half of Sunday as a secondary front slides through the area. Once the fronts clear, much drier and cooler air will settle in. Labor Day will be a beautiful, early-fall-like day with plenty of sunshine, and those same conditions are expected for Tuesday as well.
