Charleston, W.Va. – Residents across West Virginia will see a pair of hot, sunny days before the threat of showers and thunderstorms returns Tuesday afternoon. Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s in the lowlands, with mountain highs in the low to mid-80s.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, no severe storms are expected at this time, but repeated rounds of rain through midweek could lead to localized flooding, particularly in areas that receive multiple downpours. Tuesday’s storms are expected to develop in the afternoon and evening, with the potential for lingering showers into Wednesday and Thursday.
Travelers should be alert for sudden heavy rain that may cause ponding on roads, especially in flood-prone areas. Outdoor plans early in the week will fare best before Tuesday afternoon, when rain chances rise.
The unsettled pattern is expected to hold through Thursday before drier conditions return late week. Additional weather advisories are possible if rainfall totals increase.
