Downpours continue tonight, cooler days ahead

Tonight features mostly cloudy skies with scattered showers and thunderstorms. Some storms could produce locally heavy rainfall with lows in the low to mid 60s.

Thursday keeps the risk for a few showers, with our cold front crossing during the morning hours. The afternoon will feature a northwest wind flow behind the front, which will slowly begin to cool us down. High temperatures on Thursday will once again be in the upper 70s. Showers will be most prevalent in the morning, with only widely scattered showers by the mid-afternoon.

Friday will be dry, with high pressure to our west nudging approaching showers from the northwest and keeping them to our north. We’ll see plenty of sunshine as a result but it’s a cool and comfy day overall with highs around 70. We should be in the mid 70s this time of year.

Saturday features mostly sunny skies with high pressure nearly overhead but with a light and variable breeze expected, temperatures won’t jump too much, as we remain below average with high temperatures in the low 70s. A stray mountain shower up in Pocahontas County can’t be ruled out with a boundary nearby but we’ll be dry elsewhere.

Sunday brings back the risk for a few showers, though this risk looks widely scattered, with a weak cold front scooting toward the area with highs in the mid 70s.

Monday keeps the risk for a few scattered showers, with a trough passing by, with highs in the low 70s.

Tuesday continues our risk for showers with a cold front and associated low pressure system moving up the Ohio River Valley. This will give us a good chance for showers, with highs near 70.

Wednesday sees high pressure move into the region which will begin to warm us up as we’ll see high temperatures in the upper 70s with just an isolated risk for a shower.

Looking ahead, in your extended forecast, we are warming up! By Thursday, a few isolated showers will be possible as the mercury climbs to near 80 degrees. Friday continues the risk for isolated showers with highs near 80 with partly sunny skies expected by Saturday with highs in the upper 70s to right around 80 degrees.
