Weekend Rain Forecast
Rain is expected to arrive over the weekend, bringing relief to areas affected by extreme drought in North Central West Virginia.
The current drought conditions are expected to worsen before the rain arrives, with some areas near the Ohio River experiencing "abnormally dry" conditions.
- Expected rainfall: around 1.00″ by sunrise on Monday
- Cold front moving through today will not bring relief
- Thursday and Friday: plenty of sunshine, highs in the upper 50s to lower 60s
Tonight, clear skies and dry air will lead to near-freezing temperatures in the mountains, with frost expected in mountain areas on Thursday morning.
No rain means extreme drought is tightening its grip on parts of our area, and it will continue to get worse before it gets better.
