2/28 West Virginia Weather: Clear Skies

Good morning. Maine. I'm DJ Huzz. Step outside right now and you'll wonder if someone swapped February for April. We're sitting at 37 degrees under a sky so clear you could count stars last night. High pressure is parked overhead, giving us one of those gift-wrapped winter days you don't question. You just enjoy. In the next 24 hours. Central West Virginia? You're the winner today. Climbing to 64 degrees under brilliant sunshine. That's the kind of warmth that tricks the daffodils. The Northern Panhandle hits 59 with that same gorgeous blue sky. Down south, you're matching that 59 with nothing but sunshine ahead. But here's the twist. A dry cold front slides through this afternoon. No rain, no drama. Just the opening act. Because tonight, an Alberta Clipper drops in from Canada. and that's when our quiet Saturday turns interesting. Clouds roll in after sunset. Central West Virginia drops to 41 tonight with rain possible after 4 A.M. Sunday. The Northern Panhandle cools to 34. and that 3 A.M. Rain could make your early Sunday commute slick. Down south, you stay drier with a low around 40 and just a slight chance of morning sprinkles. Sunday cools way down. Central areas hit 51 with rain before 1 P.M. The Panhandle? Just 42 degrees. Southern counties reach 48. Your week ahead gets wild. Sunday brings that Clipper rain. Monday turns tricky with a wintry mix possible in the mountains. Tuesday through Thursday? A warming trend with daily rain chances. Then Friday explodes to 77 degrees. That's a 20-degree jump from today's already mild readings. In One more thing. Sunrise hits at 7, 01 A.M. With sunset at 6:19 P.M. We're gaining over two minutes of daylight every single day now. Get outside and soak in this Saturday. Winter makes a cameo appearance tomorrow. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow. For the extended outlook, check the latest forecast as confidence improves. Stay safe, stay prepared. and enjoy the day.
