BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - The unofficial start of summer is upon us, but the weather will still be very spring-like, as rain and thunderstorms will be very apparent throughout the holiday weekend. A few showers have dappled the area Friday afternoon, but will taper off overnight, leading to patchy fog Saturday morning. The rest of the morning should be mostly dry, but entering the afternoon, scattered showers will begin to arise. Some of these storms could wield strong wind gusts that could cause minor damage, but our main concern with any storms this weekend will be the heavy rain within them. Storms will continue into Saturday night, once again tapering off in the overnight hours, leading to patchy fog the following morning. Much of the daylight hours on Sunday will be spent dry, with respect to a few stray showers popping up in the higher elevations. Temperatures, as a result, will be getting quite warm-- and given the moist environment, expect it to feel a bit muggy (this goes for Saturday, too). Nearing sunset, storms will ramp up again, this time continuing in more successive rounds through the overnight and Monday morning. At this point, a lot of rain may be dumped in a relatively short amount of time, which poses the threat of flash flooding. So, a First Alert Weather Event is in place for Saturday afternoon through Monday afternoon. Areas especially prone to flash flooding are Marion, Monongalia, and Preston Counties where flash flooding has been a recurrent issue this month. But any area that sees one too many downpours could be at risk. Past Monday afternoon, activity will die down for the remainder of the day. Shower chances will continue to be a possibility for Tuesday and Wednesday, though not as heavy and not as stormy. Temperatures during this time will dip below average. High pressure will slide in for the end of the week, bringing more sunshine and regulating temperatures.
