First Alert Forecast | Passing Rain Eases The Heat
HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - A pulse of widespread showers and rumbles passed through this morning, slickening the streets but blessing the dormant and parched lawns out there.

Severe weather is not expected with these, and any flooding from downpours should stay isolated. Since the beginning of June, much of the region has built up about a three inch deficit in rainfall, and the next couple of days will help put a dent in that. There will be rain-free times as well, but more clouds than sunshine. Overnight lows will drift back down to the upper 60s under quieter skies.
