West Virginia wakes up wrapped in dense fog and damp chill, with visibility dropping under a mile in parts of Charleston. Headlights glow through the mist, and roads feel slick in spots as the morning commute unfolds.
According to the National Weather Service, Charleston, South Charleston, Nitro, and St. Albans are seeing patchy fog and temperatures near 38°F early this morning. A 30% chance of showers develops after 4 p.m., with the primary impact window between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. Light rain may create slick pavement on I-64 and I-77, especially in low-lying stretches and river valley corridors where moisture lingers.
This is part of a broader system pushing east, keeping temperatures below seasonal averages and supporting scattered showers across the region. Highs reach near 68°F today, but the damp pattern continues into tonight.
The bigger shift comes late Saturday night into early Sunday morning, when temperatures drop to around 36°F. That creates a frost risk between 3 a.m. and 8 a.m. Sunday, especially in rural and sheltered valleys where cold air settles. Sensitive plants may be damaged if left uncovered, particularly outside urban areas.
Saturday stays mostly dry with highs near 60°F, offering a brief break before colder air settles in. Sunshine returns Sunday afternoon, followed by a steady warm-up into the mid-70s by Monday and upper 70s Tuesday.
Use caution during foggy morning travel today, plan for slower driving this evening as showers move in, and protect plants ahead of the early Sunday frost window.
