WOAY-TV (Oak Hill, WV): Today will be another completely dry day with warm temperatures as high pressure lingers for one more day. Make sure you stay safe out there and listen to your body if you feel you need a break from the sun. Heat concerns grow through the rest of the week as temperatures stay in the upper 80s and we get more humid, resulting in higher heat indices and more thunderstorm chances.
The weekend will bring the next decent rain chances, especially on Sunday. Saturday will have more of the afternoon and evening showers due to humid air and warm temperatures, while Sunday’s chances are helped by a disturbance passing through with a front just to our north. Both days also have moderate to major heat concerns due to stagnant temperatures and increasing humidity. No severe weather is expected both days as wind shear is trending to be weak, though sunshine can cause instability that can lead to a couple of stronger storms developing. Here’s a look at the Heat Risk Outlook for Saturday:
Pop-up shower chances will prevail as the next work week comes along, though the region will stay mostly sunny through the coming days. Chances of 20-30% will be mostly for the afternoon and evening as daytime heating will continue to help develop scattered thunderstorms. Make sure to have the rain gear prepared for the day, especially right before and right after the evening commute. Here’s a look at the 7-Day Forecast:
