HUNTINGTON, W.Va. (WSAZ) - Two Saturdays, two windstorms. Another powerful low pressure system wreaked havoc across the region Saturday afternoon as wind gusts between 50 to 60 mph were common and caused widespread damage. The wind is expected to settle down Saturday night, with a much quieter and cooler Sunday on tap. Then, attention turns to yet another strong low pressure system in the Tuesday-Wednesday time frame. While this has the potential to produce another widespread outbreak of severe weather in the middle part of the country, the low looks to stay far enough north of the immediate area to keep any significant severe weather away and allow winds to be a bit tamer locally. Either way, a surge of warmth with showers and storms is likely for the middle of the week before a cooler and quieter pattern takes hold into the start of Easter weekend.
