2/27/2016 11:12 PM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 WVVA Weather...TODAY'S FORECAST High pressure will build into the area, giving us sunshine and above normal temperatures. Clear skies and dry air in place tonight will allow temperatures to drop quickly. Overnight lows will range from the middle 20s in sheltered valleys to middle and 30s along ridges. Sunshine is in the forecast for Sunday. High temperatures will be in the upper 50s and lower 60s. We will start to see high clouds increase late in the day as a weak cold front moves our way. The front will move through the area on Monday and will touch off a few rain showers. Weak high pressure will give us drier weather Monday night and early Tuesday, but a stronger cold front will begin to influence our weather late Tuesday. Rain is expected to develop late in the day Tuesday and Tuesday evening and it could be heavy at times. We will continue to watch this time frame for the possibility of flooding if heavier rain showers impact our area. Colder air will move in late Tuesday night and early Wednesday morning, changing rain showers over to snow showers. Some light accumulation is possible, (a few inches along western slopes). Temperatures stay fairly cool through the end of the week, but no arctic air will be moving south. A clipper system will bring us a chance of snow on Friday with dry conditions to follow next Saturday.
2/28/2016 8:13 PM 0.00 0.0 0.00 0.0 0.00 Our WVVA Weather Forecast For Rainelle, WV...TODAY'S FORECAST: Clouds will begin to increase late tonight and gusty winds will continue out of the southwest 10-20 mph with gusts up to 45 mph possible early Monday morning. It will not be as cold tonight, with temperatures staying in the lower 40s. A cold front will move through the region early Monday morning, increasing the chance for light rain showers. High pressure will build in behind the cold front on Monday, and skies will begin to clear in the afternoon. It will remain mild as there isn't much cold air behind the front. High temperatures Monday will be in the upper 50's. Dry weather will continue until Tuesday evening when a stronger cold front moves toward our area. Rain showers will develop Tuesday night and early Wednesday. Cold air will move in behind the front on Wednesday and will change rain showers over to a brief period of light snow showers. There could be an inch or two of accumulation in the mountains on Wednesday, but an increasing March sun angle will limit snow accumulation compared to a January snow event. An area of low pressure will move toward our area Thursday and cause a few rain showers late in the day, followed by snow showers early Friday. There isn't a lot of model consensus late next week, and we will continue to monitor this time period closely for the potential for winter weather. Dry weather will move into the region next weekend.

Skies remain mostly clear through the evening and night as high pressure re moves overhead. This will also allow winds to lighten after sunset with only a slight breeze shifting south overnight. Temperatures will drop into the 30s for most with some upper 20s possible in the deeper mountain valleys. Temps rise quickly Tuesday as south winds become blustery. Highs will hit upper 50s to mid 60s with increasing clouds and rain arriving late in the day. Low pressure will move east across the Country's midsection and bring a cold front into our area by Tuesday night. There is only a slight chance for showers before 4PM, then rain becomes more likely through the evening. Staying blustery and turning colder through Wednesday morning with most falling into the 30s-changing rain to snow. Little to no accumulation is expected and mountain snow showers taper off Wednesday afternoon with a few inches above 3,000ft.

Friday night football for the playoffs looking good but chilly out there. Hopefully you have jackets and blankets ready to go in the stands because you will need them with lows back down around freezing. More sunshine for the weekend as skies look to cool again with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s. Lows back down into the low to mid 20s. The first real bitter cold shot arrives over the area with even a shot of snow once again on the ridgetops late Saturday night into early Sunday morning.

Have the jackets, gloves, and hats ready to go. Tuesday and Wednesday will bring back slightly warmer temperatures as highs return to the mid 40s for Tuesday and low 50s for Wednesday.

With the cold front past us now, we will be getting quieter into the end of the week into the weekend. We'll be a little cooler this morning,with temps in the low to mid 30s and a few more sprinkles of rain or snow flurries possible from time-to-time, as high pressure is taking its time to build into the region. We'll see some breaks of sun, especially into the afternoon, but will still be battling lots of leftover clouds today, and low pressure along the coast tonight may push the departed front backwards a little, bringing a few late snow showers overnight to our western slopes. (No significant accumulation expected). Highs today will be near to 40 degrees, while lows tonight will be colder, (the lagging cold air behind the front finally building in overnight), dropping into the low 20s. Friday will be chilly with highs in the upper 30s, but dry & sunny as high pressure moves directly overhead. The high will then push east, bringing SW winds into our area for the weekend. We look to have a mix of sun & clouds Sat & Sun with milder temps in the 40s. A deep upper level trough looks to arrive into next week, as well as a coastal low at the surface, this will bring a slight chance of light snow to the area Monday, Tuesday, & Wednesday. Temps will also plummet as well, with highs around 40 on Monday- dropping into the 20s by midweek. Stay tuned!

Today we were a bit cooler, but many managed to reach low 60s with the help of nearly clear skies. Clouds increase overnight ahead of our next system that should start bringing light rain showers by dawn. It may be cold enough in the morning for some brief wet snow or sleet to mix in, but a cold rain is what we will see for much of the day. Temperatures hover in the lower to mid 40s through the day with an easterly breeze. An upper level low will be moving in our direction Saturday, bringing likely rain, cloudy skies and cooler temperatures. Low pressure at the surface will move along the Gulf coast and redevelop off the Carolinas. We will begin to get cold enough for a mix of rain and snow or a change to wet snow showers Saturday night into Sunday. As this coastal low moves quickly toward New England and our upper low fizzles out into a wave, precipitation will become light and spotty Sunday, gradually ending in the mountains by Sunday night. An inch of snow or less is expected for most with 2 or 3 inches in the high elevations of Greenbrier & Pocahontas Counties. We begin to dry out Monday, but remain chilly. A warming trend begins Tuesday through Thursday with highs getting back into the 60s and even low 70s with dry, sunny conditions. Our next front looks to arrive with a chance for rain Friday.

5/16/2016 6/16/2016 4:44 PM 32 4.40 0.0 0.00 WVVA Weather...SEVERE STORMS POSSIBLE BRIEFLY THIS EVENING, THEN SHOWERS LINGER TO END THE WEEK... A line of thunderstorms will be making its way southeast through our area this evening. Strong, damaging wind gusts are possible with this line, but should be short-lived. A few storms may be severe with heavy downpours and dangerous lightning as well as a small chance for hail and an isolated, brief tornado. Overnight we may still see a shower or weak thunderstorm along with patchy fog and temperatures in the lower 60s. Occasional showers and a weak thunderstorm are expected Friday as low pressure and a cold front begin to move away from our area. Lots of clouds and cooler with highs in the low 70s. Friday will be a quieter weather day with all the severe storms well to our south. However, a cold front moving through and low pressure moving away to our south and east will keep occasional showers and clouds around much of the day. This system will exit our area completely by Friday night and high pressure building to our north will bring less humidity and sunshine for Father's Day weekend! We stay breezy Friday night and Saturday, then look warm and dry Sunday. We turn warmer for the start of summer on Monday, but are still dry and sunny. Our next cold front approaches Tuesday night into Wednesday with a chance for a few showers or a thunderstorm.
