Showers & Storms Tonight...Cooler Wednesday & Thursday...

A hot afternoon with temperatures in the 90s in some areas will turn into a cloudy night with rain showers and possibly thunderstorms. A cold front moving into the region will bring the showers and storms, although it looks like rainfall amounts will be light. There could be some gusty winds in the vicinity of any storms with an overnight low temperature of 62 degrees. Cooler air will move in on Wednesday for a high of 82 with partly cloudy skies, and Thursday will be an even cooler 80 despite mostly sunny conditions. Friday will be partly cloudy with a high of 83 degrees but there could be some showers at night as a warm front moves through. The front may tap into some moisture from what is now Tropical Storm Hermine which could make for some heavy rainfall, particularly to the south. That means there could be some showers at the Friends of Coal Bowl in Huntington on Friday night. The warm front will still be around on Saturday for another chance at showers and a high temperature of 86 degrees. Sunday will be
mostly cloudy with showers and storms as the trailing cold front moves through. The high temperature will drop a bit to 83 degrees. Monday will see high pressure build back in across the region which will make for mostly sunny skies and a high temperature of 80 degrees. Tuesday will be partly cloudy and 81 degrees with Wednesday mostly sunny and 83. High pressure will stay in control on Thursday with mostly sunny skies and a high temperature of 86 degrees. More clouds will move in on Friday which will bring the high temperature down slightly to 84 degrees.

Tonight, skies will be mostly cloudy with showers and possibly thunderstorms. Rainfall totals will be light, in the quarter inch or less range although there could be some gusty winds in the vicinity of any storms. The overnight low temperature will drop to 62 degrees. Wednesday will start out with some morning fog but skies will soon become partly cloudy. The high temperature will make it to 82 degrees and it will be breezy at times.
Thursday will see high pressure move right over the region which will make for mostly sunny skies along with a drop in the high temperature to 80 degrees as cool air continues to move in behind Wednesday's front. Friday will see the front lift back up to the north as a warm front which could tap into some moisture from what is now Tropical Storm Hermine over Texas. It looks like the rain will hold off until the evening but there could be some showers at the Friends of Coal Bowl in Huntington and some showers could
bring brief periods of heavy rainfall.
The weekend will start out with mostly cloudy skies and some lingering rain showers as the warm front will still be in the region. The high temperature will warm to 86 degrees as warm air moves in behind the warm front. Sunday will be mostly cloudy with showers and storms as the trailing cold front moves through the region. The high temperature will drop a bit to 83 degrees. If moisture from Hermine is still in the region we could see some more heavy rainfall in places.
Monday will see high pressure move back into the region behind the departing cold front. Skies will be mostly sunny with the high temperature dropping to 80 degrees as cool air moves in behind the front. Tuesday will be partly cloudy with the high warming just a bit to 81 degrees. High pressure will stay in control for the next few days as well. Wednesday will be mostly sunny and 83 degrees, Thursday will be mostly sunny as well with the temperature warming to 86 degrees, and a few clouds will move in on Friday which will help drop the high temperature down to 84 degrees.

A quick look back at yesterday's forecast shows that skies stayed clear all night as forecast. The overnight low temperature dropped to 55 degrees which was four degrees cooler than the forecast low of 59 degrees. The forecast for partly cloudy skies and breezy conditions held true, with Charleston reaching a high temperature of 93 degrees. That was three degrees warmer than the forecast high temperature of 90 degrees. Huntington came in with a high temperature of 92 degrees. Neither city reported any rainfall.

Tonight: Skies will be mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms moving in late, after midnight. Rainfall totals should be light, in the quarter inch or less range. The overnight low temperature will drop to 62 degrees.

Wednesday: The day will start our with some fog in the river valleys which will give way to partly cloudy skies in the afternoon. The high temperature will drop to 82 degrees.

Thursday: High pressure will again be in control across the region. Skies will be mostly sunny with the high temperature reaching 80 degrees.

Friday: A warm front moving through the region will make for partly to mostly cloudy skies along with showers mainly to the south. Some of the showers may move up in time for the Friends of Coal Bowl in Huntington which starts at 7:00 pm between Marshall and WVU. The high temperature during the day will be 83 degrees.

Saturday: The weekend will start off with mostly cloudy skies and a few showers as the warm front will still be in the vicinity. The high pressure will warm to 86 degrees. Any rainfall should be light and scattered.

Sunday: A trailing cold front will move through which will make for mostly cloudy skies and more showers and possibly thunderstorms. The high temperature will cool a bit to 83 degrees.

Monday: High pressure will build in behind the departing cold front. That will make for mostly sunny skies and a cooler high of 80 degrees as cooler air moves in behind the departing cold front.

Tuesday: High pressure will still be in control, and will probably stay in place the next several days. The high temperature will warm slightly to 81 degrees.

Wednesday: Mostly sunny skies and dry conditions will again be the result of high pressure. The high temperature will warm again up to 83 degrees.

Thursday: Another day of mostly sunny skies will mean dry conditions and a warmer high temperature. The mercury will make it up to 86 degrees.

Friday: A few clouds will make their way into the region but it will still be dry. The high temperature will cool slightly down to 84 degrees.

One Final Note: The past three days have been below normal for the daily average temperature. That is computed by adding the high and low together and dividing by two. The last time we have seen three below normal days in a row was way back on July 1st through the 3rd!
