Good evening. West Virginia. I'm Michael Nally.

That sticky, muggy air clinging to you? it's the last gasp of summer-like heat before a wild week hits. We picked up nearly two tenths of an inch of rain overnight. And temperatures are *still* hovering near 60 degrees at midnight. But don't get too comfortable. That warmth is about to get swept away.

**here's what's headed our way.**

A broken line of showers and thunderstorms is marching east statewide right now. Central West Virginia is ground zero for the action. Expect heavy downpours and rumbles of thunder through 11 P.M. Temperatures will actually rise overnight to near 61 degrees, fueled by soupy air ahead of a cold front. Southwest winds at 6 to 9 miles an hour keep things breezy, gusting up to 21 miles an hour at times.

**Down in Southern West Virginia**, the story is similar but with a foggy twist. Thunderstorms roll through until about 1 A.M., then patchy fog takes over. Visibilities could drop quickly in the river valleys. Lows hover in the mid-50s, which feels more like May than early March.

**Up in the Northern Panhandle**, it's a steadier, cooler soak. Rain showers likely continue through sunrise, keeping temperatures stuck in the mid-50s. Gusts up to 24 miles an hour will make it feel raw by dawn.

**Sunday brings a reset.** The front clears out by daybreak, leaving sunshine and seasonable 60s. Central WV hits 67, the Panhandle tops out at 63. And the south lands at 62. But don't stash the jackets just yet. Sunday night drops into the 40s statewide under clear skies. A sharp contrast to tonight's tropical vibes.

**Looking at the week ahead. **

We're on a temperature rollercoaster. Monday and Tuesday bring back the summer preview. Highs surge to the mid-70s—that's nearly 30 degrees above normal for early March. But then. Wednesday brings the reckoning. A powerful cold front slams in with thunderstorms and a 30-degree temperature crash by Thursday. Highs plummet from the 80s Wednesday to the upper 40s Thursday, with rain changing to snow in the higher elevations. Mountain snow is possible just 13 days before spring. Roads could turn slick fast, especially since recent rains washed away any lingering salt treatments.

Enjoy the warmth while it lasts. By midweek, we're trading flip-flops for frost warnings.

See you tomorrow.

Good evening. West Virginia. I'm Michael Nally.

Folks, that wasn't just spring warmth today. It was history. Highs shattered records statewide, soaring into the low 80s in spots. But you likely noticed the dramatic ending — a line of storms packing heavy downpours and gusty winds rolled through this afternoon.

Now the show winds down, but you'll want to stay alert. Central West Virginia sits at 56 degrees with thunderstorms rumbling until about 11 PM. Those southwest winds at 6 to 9 miles an hour could gust up to 21, so secure that trash can. Down in Southern West Virginia, the storms hang on a bit longer — expect rumbles until around 1 AM, with lows hovering near 54. Watch for patchy fog developing in the valleys after midnight. Up in the Northern Panhandle, it's a steadier, lighter rain overnight with temps holding near 54, but those gusts to 24 miles an hour will make it feel blustery.

Sunday brings a split personality. The front clears early, leaving Southern and Central regions with clearing skies and highs in the mid-60s — perfect for a late-winter hike. The Northern Panhandle holds onto the chill, struggling to hit 63 degrees. By Sunday night, everyone clears out and cools down, with lows dropping to the low 40s statewide.

Then comes the wild midweek swing. Monday and Tuesday feel like early summer, hitting the mid-70s. But Wednesday delivers a gut punch. A powerful cold front sweeps in, dropping temperatures 40 degrees in 24 hours. We're talking upper 70s on Wednesday. Crashing to the upper 40s by Thursday. The higher elevations could even see snow Thursday morning. If you're traveling the mountains Wednesday night, watch for slick spots — recent rains washed away the road salt.

Spring arrives in 13 days, but winter isn't quite done with us yet.

See you tomorrow.

Good morning. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside right now. And you might think it’s June, not March. We’re sitting at **83 degrees** — yes, you heard that right — **83 degrees** in early March. That's **25 degrees above normal** for this time of year. Records are falling like dominoes today, with Wheeling and Dubois already hitting all-time highs. But don’t get too comfortable with that summery warmth. A storm system is barreling in. And it’s bringing a **dramatic reality check** — think thunderstorms, wind gusts to **35 miles an hour**. And a temperature freefall overnight. Classic West Virginia: we’ll give you a taste of summer in the morning and remind you it’s *still technically winter* by Sunday.

That clear blue sky overhead? Winds out of the southwest are already gusting to **25 miles an hour**, pushing temperatures into the **upper 70s to low 80s** statewide. But this isn’t just warmth — it’s *fuel*. The National Weather Service is warning that these conditions are **priming the pump for severe thunderstorms** later today. We’ve got plenty of moisture, instability. And wind shear in place. The only question is *when* and *where* the storms fire up.

The first round of thunderstorms rolls in **between 1 P.M. and 5 P.M.** — earlier in the west, later in the east. These aren’t your garden-variety spring showers. We’re talking **damaging wind gusts up to 60 miles an hour**, frequent lightning. And even the chance of a **brief tornado**, especially in the Northern Panhandle. The storms will march eastward, peaking in intensity around **7 P.M.** when they’re most widespread. By **11 P.M.**, the bulk of the action should push into Virginia, but lingering showers and rumbles of thunder could stick around until midnight.

Let’s tour the state — because this isn’t a one-size-fits-all storm. Central West Virginia, you’re the bullseye for the strongest storms. Charleston and Huntington, expect **temperatures near 84 degrees this afternoon**, then a **sharp drop to 56 degrees overnight** as the storms roll through. Winds will howl out of the southwest at **14 miles an hour**, with gusts to **26 miles an hour**. The thunderstorms here could dump **a quarter-inch of rain in a short time**. And with soils already saturated from recent rains, **localized flooding is possible** in poor drainage areas.

Up in the Northern Panhandle, you’re under the gun for the **earliest storms**, arriving as soon as **1 P.M.** The National Weather Service is especially concerned about **rotating storms** in this area — meaning the tornado risk is a bit higher here than elsewhere. Wheeling and Morgantown, you’ll see temperatures **peak at 78 degrees by 2 P.M.**, then plummet to **53 degrees by morning**. Winds could gust to **24 miles an hour** ahead of the storms, making it feel like a tropical system blowing through. After the storms, **a secondary line of showers** moves in overnight, keeping things soggy until sunrise.

Down in Southern West Virginia, you’ll hang onto the warmth a little longer, with highs **topping out at 76 degrees** in Beckley and Bluefield. But don’t be fooled — your storms arrive **by 6 P.M.**. And they’ll pack a punch. The biggest concern here's **heavy downpours** in a short amount of time, which could lead to **flash flooding** in low-lying areas. Overnight lows drop to a **mild 54 degrees**, but by Sunday morning, you’ll wake up to a **much cooler 42 degrees** — a 30-degree swing in 12 hours.

As the cold front sweeps through, temperatures **crash**. Lows by Sunday morning will range from **the upper 30s in the mountains to the mid-50s along the Ohio River**. But the bigger story? **The wind shift.** Southwest winds that have been blasting us with warmth all day will flip to the **west overnight**, ushering in cooler, drier air. By Sunday, it’ll feel like someone flipped a switch — **humidity drops, skies clear. And temperatures struggle to climb out of the 60s**.

Here’s your heads-up for the week ahead. Sunday

Good morning. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you might think we time-traveled to June. Here comes a **record-shattering heat wave** today, running a wild **25 to 30 degrees above normal**. Charleston is forecast to hit **82 degrees**, absolutely crushing the old record of 81 set back in 2009.

In Here's catch, this summer preview is a Trojan horse.

Highs in Central West Virginia will launch to **84 degrees** by **1 PM** in Charleston and Clarksburg. You'll want to get those outdoor plans done early. By **4 PM**, that cold front crashes the party with a bang. Thunderstorms roll in. And rain becomes likely by **7 PM**. The temperature drop is just as dramatic—falling from **84** this afternoon to **56** by tomorrow morning.

Up in the Northern Panhandle. Wheeling and Weirton peak around **78 degrees** by **2 PM**. You're slightly cooler, but your storm threat arrives sooner—look for storms around **5 PM**. The National Weather Service is warning of damaging winds as the primary threat here.

Down in Beckley and Bluefield, you're flirting with **77 degrees**. Your storm window opens earliest, with a slight chance of rain by **1 PM**.

Here's your heads-up for the week ahead. Sunday stays soggy and cooler with highs in the 60s. Monday looks like a pleasant reprieve near 70 degrees. But hold on—Tuesday brings another round of storms. And by Thursday morning. Here comes lows in the **30s**. Some higher elevations might even see a rain-snow mix.

If you're headed out, keep an eye on the sky after **4 PM**. Those storms will move fast.

See you tomorrow.

See you this afternoon.

Good morning. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you'll feel it. That damp, heavy air. We picked up over half an inch of rain overnight. Currently sitting at 61 degrees under gray skies, but that soggy start clears out as we move through the day.

Patchy fog lifts by mid-morning. Then Here comes partly sunny skies with temperatures climbing into the low to mid 70s across most of the state. Central West Virginia tops out near 81 degrees. The Northern Panhandle reaches 73. Southern areas hit 74. Light southwest winds keep things pleasant — perfect weather for a lunchtime walk if you ask me.

There's a slight chance of an isolated shower or brief thunderstorm this afternoon. Nothing widespread, just something to keep in mind if you're spending time outdoors.

Tonight stays mild with mostly clear skies. Lows drop to the upper 50s to low 60s statewide.

The Storm Prediction Center has us under a Slight Risk for severe weather Saturday. Damaging winds are the primary concern. A tornado or two can't be ruled out along the frontal boundary. Some storms could produce hail as well. Charge your phones and secure anything loose outside before tomorrow afternoon.

Rain continues Saturday night. Sunday sees lingering showers with highs in the low to mid 60s before drier weather returns Monday. Another system approaches midweek with more rain and possible thunderstorms Wednesday.

Enjoy the calm today. The weekend brings the action.

See you tomorrow.

Good afternoon. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

Step outside and you're greeted by 69 degrees and that post-rain dampness. But don't get too comfortable. Because the rain's coming back.

In the next 24 hours., A front is stalled just north of us, feeding wave after wave of showers and storms into the state. The Northern Panhandle is already soaked — rain started around noon and won't quit until early Friday morning. Down in Charleston and across central areas, expect rain this afternoon rolling through overnight. Southern West Virginia sees scattered storms firing up around 3 P.M. About those storms. We're under a marginal risk for severe weather today, mainly south of I-70. The threat? Damaging wind gusts as a surface low churns across the Ohio Valley. Keep an eye on the sky this afternoon.

Temperature-wise, we're running hot for early March — about 40 degrees above normal. The Northern Panhandle tops out near 69. Central areas climb to 76. Southern spots hit 72. Tonight stays muggy, dropping only to the mid to upper 50s statewide.

Flooding remains a serious concern across northern West Virginia and southeast Ohio. A Flood Watch continues through Friday morning. The ground is saturated, so any heavy rain could trigger new flooding or worsen what's already happening.

Friday brings a slight chance of rain with highs soaring into the low 80s. Saturday? We're talking record territory — 82 degrees with showers and thunderstorms, some possibly severe. A cold front drops us to the 60s Sunday, but the warmth rebounds next week with highs back in the 70s.

Stay weather-aware today, folks.

Good morning. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That rain drumming on your roof last night? Nearly half an inch across the state. And it's still coming down.

In the next 24 hours. Flood Warning until 4 P.M. For Wood and Pleasants counties. Flood Watch for northern parts until 1 P.M. Creeks are swollen and roads are disappearing under water. If you see flooding, turn around. Don't test it.

The Northern Panhandle is getting hammered this morning. Rain keeps falling through the day as temps hit 69 degrees. Fog's thick too — visibility down to a quarter mile in spots until around 10 A.M. Take it slow out there.

Central West Virginia sees a few rumbles of thunder early, then climbs to 76 degrees by afternoon. That's 46 degrees warmer than normal for early March. Your daffodils are confused.

Southern West Virginia catches a break today. Mostly cloudy, high near 72. Just a slight chance of rain until evening showers roll in.

Tonight, rain continues everywhere. Lows hold in the mid-50s to around 60 degrees.

Friday brings record-threatening warmth. Upper 70s and low 80s statewide. Keep that umbrella handy though — scattered storms remain possible.

A cold front crashes through Saturday night. Sunday cools to the low 60s with lingering rain. Monday and Tuesday rebound to the low 70s with occasional showers.

In One bright spot, we're gaining over two minutes of daylight each day now. Sunrise at 6:54 this morning. Tonight's full moon will shine through those breaking clouds.

Stay dry if you can. Charge your phone before you leave.

Good evening. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

You hear that drumming on the roof? we've already picked up over half an inch of rain in just six hours. The ground is officially saturated.

In the next 24 hours. Here's the setup for tonight. The Northern Panhandle takes the direct hit. Expect persistent rain with fog rolling in and lows settling near 55 degrees. Some spots could see another half inch of water. Central West Virginia, keep your ears open between 7 and 9 P.M. Thunderstorms are possible during that window.

Thursday keeps the wet pattern going. The Panhandle stays soggy with rain and fog, highs near 69 degrees. Central areas climb to 78 degrees with rain likely. The south reaches 72 degrees with a chance of afternoon showers.

Now here's the headline. Friday and Saturday bring extraordinary warmth. We're talking highs near 81 degrees in central West Virginia. That's roughly 47 degrees above normal for early March. We're flirting with record territory. But Saturday brings a catch. A cold front sweeps through with strong thunderstorms possible. Damaging winds and even an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

Sunday cools back to the 60s with lingering showers. Monday and Tuesday rebound into the mid 70s with scattered rain chances.

In Keep two things on your radar, flooding concerns tonight in the northern counties. And that potential severe weather Saturday. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight now. And the spring equinox sits just two weeks away.

For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good afternoon. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

We picked up about four-tenths of an inch of rain overnight, but the real story is the thermometer. Step outside and you might think we skipped straight to late April.

In the next 24 hours. Central West Virginia is basking in 66 degrees right now. That's running a solid 47 degrees warmer than usual for early March. You'll likely see a few rumbles of thunder as rain peaks around 5 P.M. It stays unusually mild tonight with showers and a low of 57.

Head north to the Panhandle and it's a bit cooler at 59 degrees, but the rain is persistent. Watch for patchy fog developing as that 90 percent chance of rain continues overnight. Lows only dip to about 55 degrees.

Down in southern West Virginia, you're looking at 65 degrees this afternoon with rain likely through early evening. Skies partially clear tonight with a low around 52. A Flood Warning is in effect for Mason County until 5:30 P.M. We've also got a Flood Watch covering northwest West Virginia and southeast Ohio through Thursday afternoon. Creeks are running high, so don't try to drive through water covering the road.

Tomorrow kicks off a remarkable warm stretch. Central areas hit 78 degrees. The Panhandle reaches 69. The south climbs to 72. We're talking 47 degrees to 47 degrees above normal.

Friday and Saturday could challenge records, with highs in the upper 70s to low 80s. But Saturday brings a change. A cold front sweeps through with strong to severe storms possible in the afternoon. Damaging winds and even an isolated tornado can't be ruled out.

Sunday cools back to the 60s with lingering showers, before we rebound to the mid-70s Monday and Tuesday.

If you see high water today, turn around. Don't drown. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves.

That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.

Good morning. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly.

That steady drumming on your roof overnight wasn't just your imagination. We picked up four-tenths of an inch of rain. And the ground is officially calling it quits. Central West Virginia is under a Flood Warning until 8:30 this morning. Creeks and streams are rising fast from Clarksburg down to Parkersburg. Turn around, don't drown — finding a different route is a lot better than ruining your day.

In the next 24 hours. Up in the Northern Panhandle, you're dealing with a double whammy. Dense fog is cutting visibility to a quarter mile or less through 11 A.M. Take it slow on the commute this morning.

In Here's wild part, it's mid-March, but it feels like late April. Central West Virginia hits 67 degrees today — a solid 46 degrees warmer than normal. Thunderstorms might rumble through this afternoon. Down south, you're looking at 65 with rain tapering off this evening. The Northern Panhandle stays the cool spot, socked in at 58 degrees.

Thursday turns up the heat even more. We're talking 78 degrees in some spots. Friday could flirt with 82. That's remarkable for this time of year. Saturday brings our next big system with rain and storms likely before we cool down slightly next week.

Spring is officially just 16 days away, but looking at this forecast, it seems someone forgot to tell the weather.
