WOAY-TV (Oak Hill, WV): Chilly conditions start the week off as temperatures stay in the 30s and 40s through the morning commute. A Frost Advisory is in effect until 10 AM for Fayette, Mercer, Monroe, Nicholas, southeast Pocahontas, Raleigh, Summers, and Wyoming counties until 9 AM this morning. In addition, a Freeze Warning has been issued in Greenbrier county until that same time.
On top of the cold, a few scattered showers are popping in for this morning. There may even be a wintry mix or light flurries, but little to no accumulation is expected. While conditions improve and temperatures increase in the afternoon, peak temperatures will be in the lower 50s. Despite the sunshine, you’ll want to keep your jacket through the entire day.
Temperatures will be frigid once again tonight, leading the National Weather Service to issue a Freeze Warning for Fayette, Greenbrier, Mercer, Monroe, Nicholas, Pocahontas, Raleigh, Summers, Tazewell, and Wyoming counties from 2 AM until 10 AM tomorrow morning. Thankfully, we’ll be back to seasonable temperatures by tomorrow afternoon. Meteorologist Christian Boteler has the details:
The next chance for rain is on Wednesday, although showers will be light and scattered across the region. Despite the lighter rainfall, it will be helpful in keeping major drought from developing in the region. These showers will develop in the afternoon and evening before dissipating overnight. After a seasonable and drizzly day, the region will stay dry for the rest of the work week.
Temperatures will be in the mid- to upper-70s on both Thursday and Friday, making for another warmer stretch of weather. Along with the warmth, conditions will stay sunny and dry. It will be a wonderful end to the work week, but the fire risk will be elevated as well. Here’s a look at the 7-Day Forecast:
This weekend is where we get the most eventful weather yet again. Widespread rain will fall starting Saturday morning as the next cold front advances into the region. These showers and storms will last through most of the day and continue overnight. Rainfall between Saturday and Sunday is trending to land between a half of an inch and an inch through the region. The heaviest rain will likely end up in the northern and western counties, but any and all rain that falls will be beneficial to the region. These showers will finally die down on Sunday, but not before some more rain falls in the morning.
