Another Round of Accumulating Snow Arrives Today into Tonight Across Portions of the Area

Snow overspreads portions of the area today into tonight as the next system quickly approaches. 1 to 4 inches of snow is expected across parts of central/northern West Virginia, southeast Ohio, and northeast Kentucky, with lesser amounts to the south given a potential mix of rain/snow. Snow tapers from north to south later tonight. Please slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination. Read More >

The Northern Hemisphere summer solstice will occur Thursday, June 20th at 4:51 PM EDT, marking the start of astronomical summer. The summer solstice occurs at the moment the earth's tilt toward/from the sun is at a maximum. Therefore, on the day of the summer solstice, the sun appears at its highest elevation with a noontime position that changes very little for several days before and after the summer solstice. The summer solstice occurs when the sun is directly over the Tropic of Cancer, which is located at 23.5° latitude North and runs through Mexico, the Bahamas, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, India, and southern China. For every place north of the Tropic of Cancer, the sun is at its highest point in the sky and this is the longest day of the year.
