Fire Weather Planning Forecast National Weather Service Charleston WV 435 AM EDT Thu Sep 19 2024 .DISCUSSION... Showers and storms will be possible this afternoon with breaks in the cloud coverage allowing temperatures to climb above seasonable just as yesterday. Dense fog or abundant low clouds may develop this morning and once again on Friday morning. Drier, quiet and warmer weather returns Friday, and will continue through the weekend with a weak ridge of high pressure taking control. Weak disturbances moving through the ridge will bring clouds at times, and an afternoon shower or thunderstorm actually cannot be ruled out, at least for Saturday. Relative humidity percentages will once again fall into the 20s and 30s Friday, and then the 30s and 40s over the weekend. Afternoon minimum relative humidity percentages then climb further during the next work week starting Monday, as the ridge of high pressure moves east of the area and allows a more humid southerly flow to become established. There is also the chance for showers, and mainly afternoon thunderstorms, as disturbances, and, eventually a midweek cold front, cross.
