WOAY-TV (Oak Hill, WV): Once again, the morning commute will be impacted by some foggy conditions. A Dense Fog Advisory has been issued for Greenbrier, Monroe, and Summers counties until 9 AM this morning. If you end up driving through dense fog, please slow down and use your low beams until you are completely out of the fog. By 9 AM, the fog will start to dissipate, revealing sunny skies across the region.
This afternoon is shaping up to be beautiful and comfortable. Sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-70s will be widespread, which is nearly perfect outdoor weather. If you are working or playing in the sun for an extended period, please make sure to have water and sun protection. While it will be comfortable, sunburn is still possible without precautions. Make sure to enjoy the nice weather as much as you can! Meteorologist Christian Boteler has the latest:
High pressure will continue to move through Appalachia, meaning the dry, sunny weather is here to stay for a while longer. This high-pressure center will slowly move southeast, staying in the region until late Saturday. Temperatures will rise into the 80s by Thursday and stay there through the weekend. Conditions will be great, and any outdoor plans will go off without a hitch until Sunday. However, with the extended streak of sunny skies and no rain in sight, drought will be a concern. Make sure you avoid burning in the afternoon and keep your plants well-watered through the weekend.
The next chance of rain comes on Sunday as the next frontal boundary moves through the region. Rainfall starts in the morning and will continue to move in and out of the region through the day. Showers and storms that develop will be broken across the region, which is why chances for more than a trace amount of rain are only around 40% on Sunday. Still, any rain is good rain as we deal with the ongoing drought. If you have outdoor plans, such as graduation parties, you may want an indoor backup plan.
Showers and thunderstorms will continue to move through the eastern states early next week, but there is some uncertainty for our area. If a high-pressure center ends up anchoring itself in New England, then rain would be pushed too far south to have any notable impact. However, models are still disagreeing on whether that center ends up dropping into the states. Here’s your 7-Day Forecast:
