WHSV Detailed Forecast

VALLEY - A cool area of high pressure builds in today and that will keep temperatures in the lower to mid 80s through much of this forecast period with partly to mostly sunny skies. The high pressure system moving in will be strong enough to keep any remnants of Tropical Storm Fay to the south with little impact on the valley, at least for now .Our next chance of rain is early next week. WEST VIRGINIA- Look for daytime highs in the upper 70s and near 80 through mostly sunny days. Tropical Storm Fay is forecast to have minimum impact on the area, if any, as high pressure builds in for the second half of the week. I know many need rain and I wish I could help you ... you can't change it so you might as well enjoy the very nice weather through the rest of the week. Thanks for starting your day with us at WHSV!
