Severe thunderstorms begin tonight and continue into Thursday morning
BRIDGEPORT, W.Va (WDTV) - We started of the morning with a few scattered showers and a single non-severe thunderstorm popping up over NCWV, we will continue to see those scattered shower chances throughout the day today. High temperatures today are going to remain above seasonal average being in the mid 80s throughout the lowlands and in the high 70s in our higher elevation areas. If your area gets hit by one of those scattered showers in the early afternoon however, you most likely will not reach these high temps. Starting late tonight we will start to see some more consistent rainfall and possibly some severe thunderstorms with the main concern being damaging winds. This will continue throughout Thursday morning, then it will start to clear up during the afternoon hours, we will still see mostly cloudy skies and a chance for scattered showers and a few possible thunderstorms, but the severe factor of those thunderstorms will have dissipated. On Thursday evening another round of rain showers and thunderstorms will cross our area but will stay non-severe. Our highs on Thursday will drop down to around seasonal average with the lowlands seeing mid to high 70s and higher elevations dropping down to the low 70s. Daniel Niemasz has all of this and more on your First Alert Forecast.
