West Virginians Bracing for Extreme Temperature Swings on Sunday
West Virginia is in for a dramatic shift in weather conditions this Sunday, with a cool morning quickly giving way to intense afternoon heat.
The National Weather Service in Charleston reports that Sunday will start with cooler temperatures, ranging from 54°F to 62°F across the state. However, residents should prepare for a significant temperature increase later in the day. By the afternoon, temperatures in lowland areas such as Charleston, Huntington, and Parkersburg could climb to the low to mid-90s.
The forecasted heatwave is attributed to high pressure settling over the region, which is expected to limit cloud cover and maximize sunshine. The National Weather Service advises residents to take necessary precautions to prevent heat-related health issues, particularly during the peak afternoon hours.
With this extreme weather pattern, it’s crucial to stay hydrated and limit outdoor activities during the hottest parts of the day. The heatwave is anticipated to continue into the early part of the week, with little respite expected.
