Charleston, West Virginia – After a weekend of cool air and crisp sunshine, residents across West Virginia can expect comfortable conditions with lower humidity through Monday, thanks to stubborn high pressure parked over the region. According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, high temperatures will range from the mid-60s to mid-70s in the mountains and 80–85°F in the lowlands both today and Monday, with overnight lows dropping to the 50s and low 60s.
Most of the state, including Charleston, Huntington, and Parkersburg, will see mostly sunny skies and dry air into Monday evening. Those in the Greenbrier and Potomac Highlands should also expect pleasant weather and great outdoor conditions. As high pressure slips eastward, heat and humidity will quickly return starting Tuesday, especially in the lowlands, pushing highs back into the mid-80s.
By Tuesday afternoon, the risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms rises, mainly during the late day and evening hours. These storms could bring brief downpours and gusty winds, especially along I-64 and I-77 corridors through midweek. Residents are urged to monitor changing conditions, avoid outdoor plans during afternoon storms, and have backup power options ready in case of lightning-related outages.
Storm chances and muggy air stick around through at least Wednesday, with another round of alerts possible as new weather systems move through.
