FIRE DANGER: A steady breeze and dry air with dew points in the 40s increase brush fire risks across the region. All counties are under a moderate risk with the exception of Nicholas county at high risk for brush fires.

Until we get some meaningful rain, we can expect fire dangers to remain elevated. Another symptom of our on-going drought. www.wvnstv.com/weather

GOOD MORNING: The only thing different from yesterday will be a few extra clouds today. Otherwise, temps rise slowly to the 60s by the middle of the day, low to mid 70s by this afternoon. We're still running just below seasonal averages with breezy southeast winds pushing in 10-15mph.

We do have a brief warm-up for the end of the week. Check out the full details: www.wvnstv.com/weather

NEXT RAIN CHANCE: Outside of a stray sprinkle or two in our western counties Friday evening, we are looking pretty dry until this weekend, when a cold front will cross. It's not much rain either - just a few widely scattered showers Saturday with evening clearing. We will be dry and COOLER on Sunday!

WARMING SLOWLY: As advertised, we haven't moved the needle much with just the low to mid 60s this afternoon. Our western counties will push a little farther into the mid 70s by this evening. For now, September is off to a chilly start and looks to stay there in your extended forecast. Check out your 10 Day Forecast for the latest! www.wvnstv.com/weather

SUNRISE: What a view over Ghent, WV this morning with the autumn colored sky. It'll be a chilly morning with temps rising ever so slowly into the 60s by lunchtime. If you are west of I-77, we'll push into the low 70s. Easterly winds will keep our eastern mountains cooler in the upper 60s and low 70s.

While we can use rain, why waste such a beautiful day?! www.wvnstv.com/weather

PEAK SEASON: On averages alone, Sept 10th is considered the peak of the Atlantic Hurricane Season. This year seems to be on par with 3 areas worth watching for tropical development leading up to September 10th. While the risk is low for development over the next 2-5 days, it's a reminder to us all that a tropical storms/hurricanes are still possible even as we eye the start of fall in just 20 short days from now.
