West Virginia Weather: 02-20-2026

Good morning! I'm Aaron Jolly, and welcome to the West Virginia Weather Podcast. It's Friday, February 16th. Folks, here's the deal. No drama today. No ice storms, no wind advisories, no surprise snow. Just honest, quiet February air across the Mountain State. And honestly? After the winter we've had, I'll take it. Step outside in central West Virginia and you'll feel 36 degrees with a gentle westerly breeze topping out around 12 miles an hour. Not bad. Head south and it's a couple degrees cooler at 34. Up in the Northern Panhandle, you're sitting at 33 degrees with a southwest wind pushing 14 miles an hour. That breeze has teeth, so bundle up if you're heading out early. Quick note on air quality. It's moderate today. If your lungs are sensitive, maybe save the trail run for the weekend. Tonight, temperatures slide into the 20s statewide. Skies stay mostly clear, but that breeze makes it feel colder than the thermometer says. Tomorrow warms slightly. Highs push into the upper 30s, flirting with 40 degrees. Still dry. Still calm. Here's your heads up for the week ahead. Sunday looks gorgeous. Highs climbing into the low 40s with sunshine that actually feels like it means something. Early next week stays dry with temperatures hovering near 40 degrees. By midweek, we could see a slight cooldown, but nothing dramatic. No major storm systems on the radar. Just steady, predictable February weather. Perfect for getting outside and shaking off the cabin fever. One more thing worth celebrating. Sunrise hit 6:33 this morning. Sunset's at 5:18 tonight. That's three more minutes of daylight than yesterday. Spring is sneaking closer, one minute at a time. Alright. If you're enjoying these daily updates, share us with a neighbor. Word of mouth keeps this thing going. Stay safe out there, folks. That's your forecast — we'll be back tomorrow.
