Charleston, WV – Drivers along I-64 should prepare for dense fog and scattered thunderstorms on Wednesday. The National Weather Service forecasts patchy morning fog reducing visibility to as low as 0.5 miles, particularly during early commute hours. Thunderstorms are expected to develop after 2 p.m., which may bring heavy rain and brief gusts of wind.
Motorists are advised to exercise caution, especially during the morning rush, and use low-beam headlights when driving through foggy areas. The combination of poor visibility and potential thunderstorms in the afternoon could create hazardous road conditions on I-64 and other local routes.
According to the National Weather Service, Wednesday will see temperatures reaching 74°F, with clouds gradually clearing by the afternoon. However, the fog could persist through mid-morning, causing slowdowns on Charleston-area roads. The threat of rain continues into the evening, with a 40% chance of showers overnight.
Looking ahead, Thursday and Friday are expected to be mostly sunny, with warmer temperatures peaking at 84°F by the end of the week. Residents are encouraged to stay updated on weather conditions and adjust their travel plans accordingly.
