bringing damaging winds, hail, and a tornado threat. Residents along I-64 and I-77 should be cautious as storms could intensify this afternoon and evening.
According to the National Weather Service, a slight risk of severe storms exists for much of West Virginia, with Charleston and surrounding areas being most at risk. Large hail and damaging winds are the primary threats, though tornadoes cannot be ruled out. The worst conditions are expected between the late afternoon and evening.
Residents should prepare for potential power outages and avoid driving during severe weather, especially on I-64 and I-77, where heavy downpours could make conditions dangerous. If a tornado warning is issued, move to a safe, interior room away from windows.
Looking ahead, Charleston can expect more unsettled weather throughout the week. Showers are likely on Wednesday and Thursday, with highs in the upper 70s. Conditions are expected to improve by Friday, with clearer skies and mild temperatures continuing through the weekend.
