Charleston, WV – West Virginia is gearing up for another day of extreme heat, with temperatures potentially reaching triple-digit heat indices along and south of I-64. This afternoon and evening, isolated to scattered storms are expected to develop, bringing the risk of damaging winds and heavy downpours.
According to the US National Weather Service Charleston, a cold front moving through the region will likely trigger these storms. The primary concern is damaging winds, but heavy rain could also cause localized flooding in some areas. Meteorologists emphasize the importance of staying informed and prepared as weather conditions evolve.
The heat index, which measures how hot it feels when humidity is combined with air temperature, is forecasted to approach 100 degrees in several areas, increasing discomfort and potential health risks. Residents are advised to stay hydrated, avoid strenuous outdoor activities during peak heat hours, and check on vulnerable individuals such as the elderly and those without air conditioning.
As the day progresses, cloud cover and precipitation may help keep temperatures from climbing as high as the previous day. However, the combination of heat and potential severe weather requires vigilance and caution from all residents in the affected areas. Stay updated on weather alerts and take necessary precautions to ensure safety.
