Charleston, WV – Showers and thunderstorms are expected across parts of southern and eastern West Virginia today as an area of low pressure moves up the Atlantic coast. The National Weather Service in Charleston reports that the system will bring slow-moving rainfall to the region, while much of western West Virginia stays dry.
According to the National Weather Service, rainfall will mostly be beneficial, but isolated high water issues could develop in areas with poor drainage. Residents are urged not to drive through flooded roadways.
Temperatures will rise into the upper 70s and low 80s across most of the state, with the wettest conditions expected in places like Beckley, Charleston, and Huntington. Farther west, areas including Parkersburg and Point Pleasant are forecast to remain dry.
Forecasters note that Sunday will bring quieter weather statewide, with only low rain chances and seasonable temperatures. Looking ahead, the risk of tropical moisture influencing West Virginia next week has lessened compared to earlier predictions.
