Charleston, W.Va. – Drivers across western West Virginia are facing patchy dense fog this morning, with reduced visibility expected until about 9 a.m. Sunday. The fog is creating hazardous travel conditions on interstates and rural highways alike, particularly along river valleys and low-lying areas.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, visibility can drop suddenly in pockets of dense fog, making travel unpredictable. Motorists are urged to slow down, use headlights, and allow extra travel time until the fog lifts later this morning.
Once the fog clears, high pressure will settle over the region, bringing several days of quiet, dry weather. Temperatures will gradually warm from the 60s in the mountains and 70s in the lowlands today into the 80s by midweek. Overnight lows remain seasonably cool, dipping into the 40s most nights.
Communities from Huntington to Beckley should see steadily improving weather conditions through Monday, with the warmest afternoons expected Tuesday through Thursday. The calm stretch will allow outdoor activities to resume, though early mornings may still start cool.
More seasonal warmth and sunshine are expected into midweek, with no rain chances in sight for now.
