About this listen

 Good afternoon. West Virginia. I'm Aaron Jolly. Step outside and you're greeted by 69 degrees and that post-rain dampness. But don't get too comfortable. Because the rain's coming back. In the next 24 hours., A front is stalled just north of us, feeding wave after wave of showers and storms into the state. The Northern Panhandle is already soaked — rain started around noon and won't quit until early Friday morning. Down in Charleston and across central areas, expect rain this afternoon rolling through overnight. Southern West Virginia sees scattered storms firing up around 3 P.M. About those storms. We're under a marginal risk for severe weather today, mainly south of I-70. The threat? Damaging wind gusts as a surface low churns across the Ohio Valley. Keep an eye on the sky this afternoon. Temperature-wise, we're running hot for early March — about 40 degrees above normal. The Northern Panhandle tops out near 69. Central areas climb to 76. Southern spots hit 72. Tonight stays muggy, dropping only to the mid to upper 50s statewide. Flooding remains a serious concern across northern West Virginia and southeast Ohio. A Flood Watch continues through Friday morning. The ground is saturated, so any heavy rain could trigger new flooding or worsen what's already happening. Friday brings a slight chance of rain with highs soaring into the low 80s. Saturday? We're talking record territory — 82 degrees with showers and thunderstorms, some possibly severe. A cold front drops us to the 60s Sunday, but the warmth rebounds next week with highs back in the 70s. Stay weather-aware today, folks. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
