EVENING SPRINKLES: Clouds have increased in our northern counties, and we're squeezing a couple of sprinkles out of the clouds this evening in our northern counties. It's not amounting to much, but is making for a gloomy evening for some!

[StormTracker 59 @Stormtracker59]

10 DAY: Overall, this is a great stretch of weather ahead if you like warm afternoon and cool evenings. We do need more rain, though.

HOW MUCH RAIN? How much rain fell across West Virginia this past week? And which towns saw the most rain? This story answers that - and it was a LOT of rain!

[StormTracker 59 @Stormtracker59]

10 DAY: It's a wet stretch ahead that continues. At least Sunday and Memorial Day won't be washouts, but Saturday, Tuesday and Wednesday DO look quite wet.

[StormTracker 59 @Stormtracker59]

RAIN RETURNS: It's another rainy night in store across the region! The rain is not going to be heavy, but it'll be steady off and on throughout the night. Patchy dense fog will also continue as well - be careful if you plan to travel tonight or tomorrow!

[StormTracker 59 @Stormtracker59]

DENSE FOG: Be careful folks - it's scattered but that fog is THICK! Visibility in some areas has dropped to less than a quarter of a mile.

https://t.co/luwlRUMDRU

[StormTracker 59 @Stormtracker59]

10 DAY: Scattered showers and storms are to be expected at times over the next couple of days, with more scattered activity Sunday into Memorial Day itself.

EXTREME DROUGHT: Much of southern West Virginia is now in extreme drought with this week's update - however, continued rain chances ahead should IMPROVE drought conditions. Have you had drought issues in your area?

[StormTracker 59 @Stormtracker59]

RADAR CHECK: It's a soggy afternoon in store across much of the region this afternoon and we also have stout thunderstorms pushing into the Greenbrier Valley from Virginia. Expect a wet evening commute for many.

STORMS: Storms forming in Pocahontas County are nearly stationary, producing torrential rainfall - these storms will eventually 'rain themselves out', but localized areas of 1 inch or more of rain in the next hour is possible in the county.
