Charleston, WV – Clouds drift over the Kanawha Valley this Halloween morning, wrapping Charleston in a damp, cool start to the day. While trick-or-treaters can expect relatively calm weather, a change arrives by Saturday night as a wave of light rain moves through central and southern West Virginia.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, a 40–50% chance of rain develops late Saturday, continuing into early Sunday. The region will stay mostly dry through daylight hours Saturday, but roads could become slick by evening as light showers spread eastward. Residents planning weekend travel should prepare for patchy wet pavement and reduced visibility in higher elevations.
Saturday’s highs reach near 61°F, with calm winds and mild air, but the pattern shifts by Sunday. As November begins, cooler air filters across the state, dropping daytime highs back into the upper 50s and morning lows near 38°F. It won’t bring snow just yet, but forecasters say early hints of winter chill could arrive next week as temperatures trend downward.
By Monday and Tuesday, sunshine returns with highs near 60°F, offering a brief calm stretch before another front develops later in the week. With Daylight Saving Time ending at 2 a.m. Sunday, residents are reminded to set clocks back and prepare for earlier sunsets — and the steady march toward winter’s first true cold snap.
