Charleston, WV – Rain will move into Charleston tonight, marking the start of a week filled with significant weather changes. While the weekend begins mild, colder temperatures and snow are expected to arrive by midweek.
According to the National Weather Service, dry and sunny conditions Saturday will give way to rain late Sunday night, with precipitation likely after 3 a.m. Monday. The rain will continue into Tuesday, potentially heavy at times, as a strong cold front moves through the region. Highs will reach the upper 50s Monday before colder air settles in.
