Jim Barach's Outlook from the Storm Team Weather Center

Clear & Cold Tonight...Comfortable Holiday Weekend...

**Frost Advisory All West Virginia Counties Except Logan & Mingo. Also ALL Southern Ohio Counties Except Scioto. Also In Effect For Lawrence, Boyd, Carter & Greenup Counties in Kentucky. Freeze Warning Mountain Counties of West Virginia Between 2:00 & 8:00 AM Saturday**

Friday started out with mostly cloudy skies and cool conditions behind the departing cold front. It felt even cooler with a brisk breeze through the day. Tonight, skies will clear out which will allow the mercury to drop to 35
degrees with cooler numbers in the higher elevations, which is why the Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings have been posted.
The Memorial Day Weekend will start out with mostly sunny skies and dry conditions as high pressure moves in over the region. After the chilly start to the morning, the high temperature will make it up to 70 degrees. Sunday will be partly cloudy and dry ahead of an approaching warm front. The high temperature will warm to 75 degrees. Memorial Day Monday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms as the warm front moves into the region. The high temperature will make it to 80 degrees despite the clouds and showers as warmer air moves in behind the front.
Tuesday will be mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms as the warm front lingers over the region. The high temperature will warm again to 84 degrees. Wednesday will be partly cloudy and mostly dry as the region will be in the warm sector of a low pressure system. It will be warm and humid which means a few isolated storms are not out of the question. The high temperature will make it to 88 degrees.
Thursday will be partly cloudy and mostly dry and still very warm. The high temperature will make it to a hot 90 degrees which could help pop a few showers or storms. Friday will be partly cloudy and mostly dry ahead of an approaching cold front. The high temperature will be 89 degrees and there could be a few more showers or storms as the cold front gets closer.
The next weekend will start out with mostly cloudy skies along with showers and thunderstorms as the cold front moves into the region. The high temperature will drop to a still warm 85 degrees with the additional clouds and showers. Sunday will be mostly cloudy with showers and storms as the cold front stalls over the region. The high temperature will warm slightly to 86 degrees. Monday will be mostly cloudy with scattered showers and thunderstorms as low pressure will still be in place over the region. The high temperature will warm slightly to 85 degrees.

A quick look back at yesterday's forecast shows that skies were mostly cloudy overnight as forecast. The low temperature dropped to 48 degrees which came in four degrees cooler than the forecast low temperature of 52 degrees. Friday was mostly cloudy but dry, cool and breezy as forecast. The high temperature will probably come in even cooler than the forecast high temperature of 65 degrees.

Tonight: Skies will be clear which will allow the temperature to tumble after sunset. The overnight low temperature will drop to 35 degrees with the threat of frost and freezing temperatures over much of the viewing area where Frost Advisories and Freeze Warnings have been posted for early Saturday.

Saturday: The Memorial Day Weekend will start out with mostly sunny skies and dry conditions with high pressure in place over the region. The high temperature will make it to 70 degrees even with the chilly start to the day.

Sunday: Skies will be partly cloudy and it will be dry ahead of an approaching warm front. The high temperature will make it to 75 degrees.

Memorial Day Monday: Skies will be mostly cloudy with showers and storms as the warm front moves in over the region. The high temperature will make it to 80 degrees despite the clouds and showers as warmer air
moves in behind the front.

Tuesday: Skies will be mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms as the warm front stalls over the region. The high temperature will warm again to 84 degrees.

Wednesday: Skies will be partly cloudy and mostly dry as the warm front moves to the north. The warm air mass will make for a high temperature of 88 degrees and there could be a few isolated showers or storms.

Thursday: Skies will be partly cloudy and mostly dry as the region will again be in the warm sector of a low pressure system. The high temperature will make it to a hot 90 degrees which means there could be a few showers and thunderstorms at times.

Friday: Skies will be partly cloudy and mostly dry ahead of an approaching cold front. The high temperature will drop slightly to 89 degrees and there could still be a few isolated showers or thunderstorms in the afternoon heat.

Saturday: The next weekend will start out with mostly cloudy skies along with showers and thunderstorms as the trailing cold front moves into the region. The high temperature will drop to 85 degrees with the additional
cloud cover and showers.

Sunday: Skies will be mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms as the front stalls over the region. The high temperature will warm slightly to 86 degrees.

Monday: Skies will be mostly cloudy with showers and thunderstorms as low pressure will still be in place over the region. The high temperature will drop a bit to 85 degrees.
