After a grey and chilly Monday Tony says the weather will undergo a Tuesday turn-around!

The pre-Thanksgiving weekend weather for travelers aims to please...as long as you don't mind it cold!

Another soaker is heading into town. Chances for sleet are slight but worth updating.

The fall dry season has turned abnormally warm. Tony says we may hit 80 this weekend in spots. Tony is also hawking some much needed showers.

If you long for another spell of warm, springy weather before the chilled winds of November then late this week, this weekend and next week are for you. Tony has the balmy story!

November started rather dull across the region as low clouds hung around much of the day. These clouds have broken away Tuesday evening, but a new round of thick mid and high clouds is already increasing and will stick around for Wednesday. So, it is one more day of “dim and dull” before sunshine takes over and warmth surges into the upcoming weekend. A cold front tries to pass late Saturday into the Sunday with the potential for a few showers, but it does not fully cross and lifts back north and west for the start of next week, keeping unseasonably warm temperatures in the forecast.

The much-advertised cold blast is here. Tuesday afternoon’s temperatures were the coldest ever for October 18 (46 degrees in Huntington, 44 degrees in Charleston) due to thick cloud cover, a gusty westerly wind, and occasional showers or sprinkles. The wintry feel persists Tuesday night into Wednesday morning, where flurries may fly across northern parts of the region and light snow will accumulate in the mountains. On Wednesday, the sky begins clearing from west to east during the afternoon, but it is this clearer sky that sets the stage for a widespread frost and freeze Wednesday night into Thursday morning. Therefore, it really is not until Thursday afternoon and especially Friday when the warming trend begins and temperatures pick up where they left off this past weekend.

A blast of early-season “arctic” air has invaded the region, keeping temperatures in the 50s Monday afternoon. Temperatures drop to the 30s Monday night as a few locations possibly flirt with freezing, though an increase in cloud cover and light breeze should prevent widespread freezing temperatures. Nonetheless, 30s are plenty cold enough, and Tuesday afternoon’s temperatures will not get out of the 40s as a whirlpool of cold air spins over the Great Lakes, sending clouds and a few light showers/sprinkles down this way. It is also not out of the question to see a few snowflakes fly, mainly near and in the mountains, where Tuesday night into Wednesday morning a fresh light accumulation of snow is likely at ski country, just a week after peak foliage. Fortunately, the chill is replaced by much warmer temperatures that climb steadily from Friday into the weekend.

We will get over the hump with the warmest day of the week before rains arrive at night.

The middle week of October will feature a variety of weather. Tony has the forecast.

The weekend is here and with it comes a change to crisp autumn weather. Tony shares a festive forecast in more ways than one.

The fall dry season has turned September from wet to parched. Now Tony says rains will wait for the weekend to arrest the dryness.

After another warm day on Monday with a few showers skirting by, drier and hotter conditions are in store for summer’s final two days. The arrival of much cooler air this week is still expected to line right up with the fall equinox Thursday evening. This cooler air comes with showers and perhaps a thunderstorm passing during the day on Thursday, but Thursday night quickly clears and chills to what will be the coolest air of the season thus far. The next chance for rain arrives late Sunday into early Monday, keeping the fall feel around.

The dry season has arrived and with it comes the notion we will go 10-14 days without important rain. So enjoy great vacation weather!

The dry season is late in starting but about to make up for lost time. Tony has the parched 7 day forecast.

The fall dry season has been slow to arrive but at least for a few days it is here!

Our wet summer is near an end with Tuesday's rains icing on the rain gauge cake!

Wet August set to muster one last surge of rain. Tony has the drying Labor Day weekend forecast too!

The 90s made their official return Sunday afternoon after an extended hiatus due to all the rain from the end of July through the middle of August. Monday will see another day of 90-degree heat before a passing cold front on Tuesday knocks temperatures down, albeit only slightly, to the mid 80s. This front also looks to bring another round of showers and thunderstorms before dry weather takes hold again from the middle of the week into the start of the Labor Day weekend.

The last weekend of August is almost here. Tony previews a hot forecast.

A back to school hot spell has arrived. But will it hit 90 again? Tony says yes and no!

Scattered showers and thunderstorms dotted the region on Sunday, some occurring as early as the pre-dawn hours of Sunday morning. When the system responsible for the unsettled weather passes by on Monday, scattered showers remain possible, but drier weather then takes shape for the rest of the week ahead. As a result, temperatures begin to heat up and push close to the 90-degree mark.

It's weekend preview time from the weather center and this go round it will turn hot and humid again with you guessed the risk of scattered thunder. Tony has your forecast in prose and picture form.

The weather is on the improve last this middle week of August. Tony documents the forecast through the weekend.

Overall a good vacation week weather-wise is foreseen! Tony spells it out for fair goers, construction workers and back to schooler alike!

A new 3 day flood watch has been issued for much of the region. Tony sorts through the complexities.

Heat and humidity in summer often lead to thunder and rain. Tony says this next round of storms will arrive as early as Thursday afternoon.

A welcomed dry spell has set in if for just a few days. But but buyer beware of the dryness to last late week as thunder returns to the forecast

The region has been on flood alert for 3 days now with Friday making that number 4. Tony tracks the next round of rain into the region.

A new round of overnight flash flooding in the coalfields will greet the first light of day.

Flood watch continues as rounds of rain eye the region.

A week long spell of tropical humidity spells the risk of high water. Tony has the waterlogged story.

The top weather story for the week ahead shifts from heat to rain as numerous rounds of showers and storms are expected. With the repeated rounds of rain and locally heavy precipitation possible, the flood risk is elevated. This means there is the potential for street flooding in addition to rises on creeks, streams, and even larger rivers. The pattern shows no signs of breaking, save for a brief reprieve for some northern zones on Saturday.

Heat wave conditions relaxed a bit on Thursday but are due back full force this weekend. Tony spells out the 3H forecast.

An old fashioned mid-summer heat wave has arrived with thunderstorms heralding its debut!

3H days, hazy-hot and humid, are in store for kids in 4H (heart head, hands and health) this week. Tony has the sultry story.

Flood risk wanes as better weather approaches.

County Fair season is here and tonight's the night for a fine walk along the mid-day in Eleanor and Proctorville. The rest of the run of the Putnam and Lawrence Fairs looks AOK too!

The weather has settled after a wet and stormy first half of July. Tony previews the weekend forecast. How long will it stay quiet!

An afternoon and early evening of scattered thunder created some local trouble spots. Wednesday should improve that score!

The region was on storm and flood watch on Wednesday. Turns out the winds and rains were handled well by the earth they struck! Tony has a recap and look ahead.

Tropical air remains entrenched across the Tri-State, with roving bands of storms developing to our north and tracking southward through our region.

Thanks to a brutal Midwest heat wave, our region will endure a rash of thunderstorms, some severe this week.

Sunday turned into a pretty decent day across the region once the morning rain pushed out of the area. Dry conditions continue into the Fourth of July holiday, but by Tuesday, storm chances return and last all the way through the end of the week. Showers look to push out with drier and more comfortable conditions returning by the end of the upcoming weekend.

The Dog Days of Summer start in July and end in August! This weekend ahead will have plenty of heat to go around.

A nice respite from the heat has taken hold. But a word to the wise, enjoy it while you can. Tony has your extended forecast.

Showers and thunderstorms lit up the radar both days over the weekend, but fortunately there was still some dry time to enjoy outdoor activities. Rain lingers through early Monday, but by Monday afternoon, sunshine returns along with cooler temperatures and much lower humidity. This paves the way for a pleasant few days until the heat returns by the end of the work week. For the start of the Fourth of July weekend, showers and storms return to the picture. Right now, it looks like Saturday and Sunday have the best chances of seeing some type of activity, though timing and placement of storms will be fine-tuned in the coming days. Precipitation should clear by the Fourth of July holiday itself on Monday.

Temperatures for most locations were kept in the 70s yet again Monday afternoon due to abundant cloud cover. However, just in time for the first day of summer - the solstice occurs at 5:13 AM Tuesday - hotter days are set to return. Fortunately, the humidity stays rather low on Tuesday, so it will not feel too uncomfortable. This changes Wednesday when both heat and humidity continue to rise, leading to oppressive conditions and also the potential for showers and storms as a weak cold front moves through late in the day. Outside of the increased rain chances, this front does nothing to provide any relief from the heat as afternoon temperatures reach the 90-degree mark or higher through the weekend. Only after another cold front crosses late Sunday will temperatures begin to drop back to the 80s.
