Everything but the rain; Post-Tropical Beryl passes by with little help for drought

Wednesday, the remnants of Beryl miss our region towards the north and a cold front associated with the low doesn’t bring much rain to the region. A little wobble in the track late Tuesday night and drier air being pulled down by Beryl means we’ve got a drier day.

A pop-up shower is still possible as our cold front passes, but not nearly as much as previously thought.  In terms of misses, we’ll miss out by just mere miles of the rain. Charleston/Huntington will see rain, most of our region will not.  Highs manage the upper 80s once again with tropical humidity to start the day but drier air helps lower it as the day goes on.

Tonight we’re still stuffy mild with passing clouds. Winds push 10-15mph for a breezy night as cooler air filters in. Lows will dip back into the low to mid 60s for the mountains, mid 60s for the lowlands. Showers that do form will fade into the night.

Thursday is a little nicer as Beryl pulls in cooler (and drier) air from Canada which will keep our mountain counties in the upper 70s and western counties in the low 80s for the day. Sun and clouds keep the sun peeking throughout the day. Humidity levels are significantly lower making it an easy day to breathe.

Friday we transition back to a more normal summer pattern as our jet stream readjusts after Beryl. Westerly winds relax some from Thursday around 10-15mph. Temps and humidity both creep back up as we push back into the mid and upper 80s. Humidity will make it feel like we’re in the low 90s west of I-77. A pop-up shower into the late afternoon and early evening will pepper a few of us with a heathy downpour.

Saturday will be a split day with an area of low pressure of the eastern seaboard. In these set ups, our easter mountains are more favored for showers/t-storm development into the afternoon and evening hours. Many towards the west simply see broken sunshine through partly cloudy skies. Highs still manage the upper 80s towards the west with the lower 80s for the mountains dealing with more cloud cover than not. After sunset storms and shower fade with lows in the upper 60s.

Sunday is again a mostly dry day but a few pop up showers and afternoon thunderstorms are possible simply due to the heat and humidity. Westerly winds with a weak disturbance from the northwest provide a sun and cloud mix to the day. Showers fade after sunset once again with a muggy overnight with lows in the 60s.

Monday we step up the heat and humidity again with highs pushing the 90s with plenty of sunshine. A pop-up thunderstorm in the afternoon/early evening is about all the rain we’ll see. Lows remain very mild in the upper 60s/low 70s.

Tuesday another 90 degree day ahead with heat induced thunderstorms in the afternoon. The typical summer pattern. After sunset, storms rain themselves out and fade leaving us muggy and mild in the upper 60s for lows.

In your extended forecast, we’ll be watching for the same heat and humidity pattern we’ve come to know this summer. As less organized system push through, afternoon pop-up storms become the norm. We don’t look to enjoy any breaks from that anytime soon. These showers will help some with our on-going drought but it’ll be some time before we see much beneficial rains. Temps still running well above average keeping that summer heat around.
