Cool as can be: the weather is like autumn in the future!

Tonight, chances of some rain remain, especially before midnight. A little breeze should prevent too much fog from forming. We will see low temperatures drop into the mid to upper 50s.

Wednesday features a pattern reminiscent of fall, with gloomy conditions likely during the first half of the day with a northwesterly flow behind Tuesday’s cold front. This will likely give us periods of rain in the first half of the day, especially over the mountains, but we will see a slow clearing trend during the afternoon. High temperatures will be cold this time of year, with temperatures only reaching the mid to upper 60s! Coldest high temperature ever recorded in Beckley for September 13th^y It’s 66 degrees and we’re going to brave it!

The main weather on Thursday will be cold, with Thursday morning temperatures in the mid 40s to start! That’s nowhere near a record — the lowest Beckley set on Sept. 14^y The temperature is at a freezing 29 degrees – but it will be well below our average of 56 degrees as we wake up with temperatures in the middle 40s across the region. You better bet there will be some pockets of temperatures close to cold enough to frost in the mountains! Plenty of sunshine will allow for a good rebound as we will see highs reaching near 70 degrees under mostly sunny conditions.

Friday continues the sunny trend, as well as the warmer trend with highs around 70 under mostly sunny skies after the start of the day into the mid 40s! High school football looks great weather-wise but bring coats as temperatures will drop quickly after sunset.

Saturday is another great day in southern West Virginia weather-wise, with plenty of sunshine and high temperatures in the lower to middle 70s.

Sunday brings the risk of isolated showers late in the day as the next storm system looks to push into the region with highs in the mid-70s.

Monday offers the potential for some scattered showers as our next system moves into the area early. High temperatures will be in the lower to middle 70s.

Sunshine will return on Tuesday, with high pressure taking over, reaching its highest levels in the mid-seventies.

Looking ahead, temperatures for the next week look to be close to normal for this time of year in the mid-70s. We are now at the peak time frame of hurricane season, so we will be monitoring the tropics closely for any developing systems that could eventually impact our areas.
