West Virginia – A dry and warm Monday across Charleston gives way to potential rain and even light snow showers late tonight in the mountain areas. Residents should be aware of changing conditions throughout the week, with rain and lower temperatures anticipated by Thursday.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, Monday will see high temperatures in the mid-60s, with mostly dry conditions across the state. However, a system moving in tonight could bring some light rain, with snow showers possible in higher elevations late tonight into Tuesday morning. Those traveling in mountainous areas should prepare for slick conditions and reduced visibility due to potential snow.
Tuesday will be mostly sunny, with temperatures peaking around 56 degrees, providing a brief respite from the incoming colder and wetter weather. By Wednesday, Charleston residents can expect continued sunshine with highs near 64 degrees, although overnight lows will dip into the 40s.
A more significant weather system is expected to arrive Thursday, bringing widespread rain to the Charleston area and surrounding regions. Showers are likely throughout the day and could persist into the evening, signaling a notable shift to wetter and cooler weather. Highs on Thursday will be around 57 degrees, with a 70% chance of rain.
Looking ahead, Friday and Saturday will likely be partly sunny with cooler daytime highs in the upper 50s and lows in the upper 30s. Motorists, especially on major roadways leading into the mountain areas, should be cautious and plan for possible delays due to weather impacts later in the week.
