Charleston, WV – A quiet and mild night is settling across West Virginia, but rain chances are set to return as the new week begins, potentially impacting Monday travel across the region.
According to the US National Weather Service in Charleston, overnight lows will dip into the 40s and 50s across the lowlands, with cooler temperatures in the higher elevations. Increasing cloud cover is expected as moisture moves in from the southwest.
Rain chances ramp up Monday, with forecasters calling for a 50–70% chance of scattered showers throughout the day. High temperatures will reach the 70s in lower elevations, while mountain areas remain in the 60s. While widespread heavy rain is not expected, intermittent showers could create slick roads during commutes, especially in Charleston, Kanawha County, and surrounding metro areas.
By Tuesday, conditions improve across much of West Virginia. Skies will turn partly sunny with warmer temperatures pushing into the 80s in the lowlands. However, forecasters note a 20–30% chance of a stray shower lingering, particularly in the mountains.
The early-week pattern reflects a gradual warming trend, but residents should stay alert for changing conditions Monday, especially during peak travel times.
Drivers are encouraged to allow extra travel time during periods of rain and remain cautious on wet roadways.
