Last summer, we barely saw temperatures reach 90 degrees, but this summer, itβs a different story. Post-Tropical Cyclone Beryl is now moving out of West Virginia, leaving behind slightly cooler temperatures and lower humidity. On Thursday, expect seasonable temperatures with mid-80s in the lowlands and upper 70s in the mountains.
However, this relief will be short-lived. By Friday, lowland areas will be creeping back towards 90 degrees, likely surpassing 90 degrees over the weekend and into the start of next week. While the humidity won’t be as intense as it has been recently, it will gradually increase each day of the heat wave.
No major rain systems are expected until midweek next week, with only small chances for a stray convective thunderstorm in the afternoons. By about Wednesday, a cold front is expected to approach, bringing more significant chances of rain and a slight dip in temperatures.
In the meantime, itβs essential to stay mindful of the heat and take necessary precautions to stay safe. Ensure you stay hydrated, wear sunscreen, and take multiple breaks from direct sun exposure, preferably in air-conditioned areas.
