A frosty Monday morning transitions to a sunny start to the new week
Monday will be our coldest morning yet, but we stick with mostly clear skies. With high pressure building in, the morning and evening commute looks pleasant with mostly sunny skies around. With a bit more sunshine compared to yesterday, Monday’s afternoon highs should make a run into the upper 50s.
Monday night keeps our high pressure system around, thus resulting in a mostly clear night. While our lasting dry spell will be a plus, it’s another frosty night with overnight lows dropping into the 30s so don’t forget to cover up any outdoor plants.
Tuesday won’t be that bad of a morning with mostly clear skies around. This will help with temps climbing into the 50s by lunchtime and eventually into the upper 60s by the late afternoon. Clouds will build from the northwest Tuesday night as our next system brings in scattered showers as we get closer to midnight.
Wednesday morning looks soggy with scattered showers moving through so don’t forget to pack something to keep yourself dry. By the middle to late morning hours, rain chances will decrease as our cold front moves off to the east. Only hit or miss showers are expected through the afternoon, mostly confined to the mountains, with temps back in the 60s.
Thursday morning is back with another cold start in the 30s! Our cold temps won’t last long as we see them warm up into the 50s and eventually the middle 60s by the evening. Mostly sunny skies return as we enjoy yet another dry spell for our entire Thursday!
Friday starts will building clouds, but the morning commute stays dry! The second half of your Friday, however, looks unsettled with chances of showers increasing through the evening and overnight. At least we end your Friday off fairly warm with many in the middle to upper 60s.
Saturday morning sticks with the unsettled weather with scattered showers moving through the area. By lunchtime and into the afternoon, we’ll see mainly hit or miss showers at that point with a few breaks expected. The start of the weekend will enjoy a warmup into the 70s.
In your extended forecast, the chance for showers and potentially a rumble of thunder carries into your Sunday. By next week, our unsettled weather continues into Monday and Tuesday with more showers expected, but at least we keep the warm temps with many sticking in the 70s.
We are in spring forest fire season in West Virginia – this means don’t burn between 7 AM and 5 PM through May 31st. Low humidity values during the daytime, along with breezier and warmer conditions will at times increase the fire threat, hence the burn ban during most of the daytime. Follow all regulations or be faced with potential consequences, such as fines! In Virginia, the spring fire season continues through April 30th – don’t burn before 4 PM.
