Fire Weather Planning Forecast National Weather Service Charleston WV 449 PM EDT Thu Sep 26 2024 .DISCUSSION... A frontal boundary will help funnel in moisture and an abundance of rain from the deep south which will be ongoing for today. Cloudy skies, rain showers with periods of steady rain with cooler than normal temperatures will be the theme today. Thunderstorm potential is very low, but we cannot rule out an isolated one or two. On Friday, the remnants of Helene approach the area. This will bring gusty winds, and more rain to much of the region. The weekend looks to remain unsettled with occasional showers and storms as a combination of an upper level disturbance and the remnants of Helene venture eastward.
