Wet start to Tuesday with widespread showers/thunder...then decreasing coverage to rain for the afternoon with some sun returning. Still a few isolated showers/storm in the afternoon but overall drier than how the day starts.

Possibility of severe weather returns Wednesday, perhaps even early in the day with several rounds of storms between dawn and late Wednesday night. Pockets of strong wind gusts and an isolated tornado are possible, along with localized high water.

Rain/thunder ramping up in coverage this evening and especially overnight. Most will get a good soaking but some locations could see 2-3" or even locally 4" during that time, which would cause flooding. Esp. watching southern Kentucky and western West Virginia south of I-64.

A couple of big downpours in Boyd and Cabell Counties producing a quick 1-2" of rain with street flooding in some locations as it moves east. Heads up in Milton/Hurricane too.

Flash Flood Warning for Cabell, Lawrence, Wayne and Boyd Counties. 1-2" of rain has fallen with another 1" or more possible leading to flash flooding in some locations over the next few hours.

Several vehicles stuck in high water at 5th Avenue and 25th street in Huntington from a quick 2" of rain. Downpour has moved out and water should begin to recede quickly.

Rain is spotty now this evening but another organized batch of rain/thunder developing in the western half of Kentucky. This will slide over our area overnight into Thursday morning with a general 1-2" and locally higher amounts that can cause pockets of high water.

Allow extra time Thursday morning and watch for heavy ponding and possible road closures in a few spots. Widespread rain will turn much more scattered by late morning into the afternoon with some sun breaking back out.

Most of us are pretty dry Friday but rain chances increase again Saturday, especially in West Virginia/Southeast Kentucky as a weak cutoff low forms to our southwest and draws some tropical moisture northwest across the Appalachians. Heaviest rain will be in the mountains.

Tricky and fluid forecast for the Mountaineer game against Utah Saturday but showers could make it up to Morgantown at times so for right now plan on bringing a poncho.

High water continues west of Huntington this morning.

Drought monitor update today actually got worse for many areas...*but* it only includes rain that fell through early Tuesday morning. Northern Kentucky and Southeast Ohio have seen improvement since then with 1-4"+ of rainfall. Kanawha Valley still needs more rain.

Amounts have varied across our area but after 6 weeks which featured only 5-6 days with rain we've picked up at least some rain in Charleston and Huntington on 5 days out of the last 6!

Watch for some locally dense fog Friday morning! Once that burns off we'll enjoy some sunshine and rain chances will be spotty at best so a nice end to an unsettled week.

I went looking for the the best Fall color in West Virginia this week and I share the story with you tonight at 6 p.m. on WCHS!

Weather looking great for high school football games this evening as we cool through the 70s into the 60s. Patchy fog and increasing clouds overnight with showers returning to southern and eastern West Virginia by dawn.

Fall colors are peaking in the very highest spots of West Virginia this weekend but getting there is half the fun!

NHC has issued an advisory on potential tropical cyclone #9 forecast to become Imelda. Tracking north-northwest through Bahamas this weekend and slowly strengthening. Notable slowdone in the NHC forecast as it approaches SC coast later Tuesday/Wednesday.

Tricky forecast Saturday. Tri-State area looks nice with sunshine and afternoon temps in the 80s. Eastern WV cloudy with showers and highs in the 60s/70s. US 119/I-79 corridor on the edge but plan for rain *at times* although some sun may break out too.

Latest trend with the storm to become Imelda shows it slowing down approaching the SE Coast early next week and then moving east as reflected in the 11 a.m. Saturday NHC forecast. Southern/Eastern WV might see a bit of rain Tuesday from that but overall minimal impacts for us.
