Another chilly night tonight but summer weather is lurking

Tonight features mostly clear skies and yet another chilly night in the region. We’ll remain just a couple of degrees warmer than last night, but with starry skies and temperatures falling back into the mid to upper 40s, it’s certainly a fall preview feel for the two Virginias. We saw some frost in isolated pockets in the mountains this morning and that will be possible once again tonight.

Thursday keeps the sun-sational weather continuing, with high pressure remaining in control. Temperatures will begin to increase as our region begins to pick up on a return-flow as a southeasterly breeze kicks in – that’s a warmer and drier air flow, so humidity levels will be held in check. High temperatures will return to the mid 70s.

Friday sees the mercury jump back up to around 80 degrees with plenty of sunshine still expected. That’s close to what we usually see this time of year, though with summertime temperatures returning, humidity levels will still be held in check, so it’ll feel great outside. Don’t forget about the UV index this time of year, which will be running very high still! In addition, with very dry conditions continuing, grass pollen will continue to be something we’ll be dealing with in the coming days.

Saturday continues the warming trend, but we’re staying dry! Mostly sunny skies and high temperatures back up into the mid 80s will really get that summertime feel going, but again, humidity level will be held in check, so it’s a great weekend to knock out some outdoor chores ahead. Keep in mind that it has been very dry in southern West Virginia – please don’t burn unless absolutely necessary!

Sunday sees partly sunny skies and temperatures jumping back into the mid 80s. A touch of humidity will begin to be felt, as our next storm system approaches from out in the Great Plains. That will bring the chances for rain back into the region by midweek, but until then, we are dry!

Monday is still sunny and toasty with a touch more humidity once again as we’ll see high temperatures in the mid 80s.

Tuesday brings the returning chance for an isolated shower or two with the combination of heat, humidity. We’ll see highs once again in the mid to upper 80s.

Wednesday features isolated chances for storms once again, but there will be plenty of dry time, with highs in the mid to upper 80s.

Looking ahead in your extended forecast, Thursday and Friday will once again provide isolated chances for rain at best with a little better chance for showers on Saturday with a cold front scooting through. Temperatures will remain in the 80s for highs on Thursday and Friday with highs closer to 80 on Saturday.
