West Virginia – Strong winds will persist across much of West Virginia this weekend before a cold front moves in, bringing cooler temperatures into next week. Sunday, March 2, is expected to see gusts up to 30 mph, with wind speeds easing slightly by Monday.
According to the National Weather Service, Charleston and surrounding areas will experience temperatures reaching the mid-50s on Sunday before dropping into the upper 40s on Monday. Winds will be strongest in low-lying areas, where isolated tree damage is possible.
By Tuesday, March 5, conditions will stabilize with mostly sunny skies and daytime highs in the mid-50s. However, overnight lows will dip into the 30s, keeping a brisk feel to the early spring days.
Drivers along I-64 and I-77 should remain cautious of sudden wind gusts on Sunday. Those in open areas or higher elevations may experience stronger winds, making travel challenging for high-profile vehicles.
Looking ahead, Charleston and surrounding areas will see mostly dry conditions through Thursday, with temperatures slowly rising by the end of the week. Residents can expect a gradual return to milder spring weather by Friday, March 8, with highs nearing 60°F.
West Virginians should secure outdoor objects and be mindful of changing road conditions due to high winds. For real-time updates, check the National Weather Service or local alerts.
