010 FXUS61 KRLX 110516 AFDRLXAREA FORECAST DISCUSSION National Weather Service Charleston WV 116 AM EDT Thu Sep 11 2025
.SYNOPSIS... High pressure continues to support dry conditions for most of the area through early next week.
&&
.NEAR TERM /THROUGH TODAY/... As of 1210 PM Wednesday...
Overall mainly dry conditions continue in the near term period with high pressure in control. Afternoons will continue to be characterized by low RH, but winds look to remain generally light during the period. River valley fog will be possible overnight/early Thursday morning. Otherwise, moisture from a low moving north along the coast today may spread enough moisture west to produce some light rain/sprinkles across far northeast zones, but chances are low, and main effect should just be a slight uptick in cloud cover.
&&
.SHORT TERM /TONIGHT THROUGH SATURDAY NIGHT/... As of 1210 PM Wednesday...
A gradual warming trend will take hold by Friday into Saturday as a ridge across the central U.S. nudges east into the region. High temperatures by Friday should generally top out in the mid 80s across the lowlands, with slightly warmer temperatures expected for Saturday.
&&
.LONG TERM /SUNDAY THROUGH WEDNESDAY/... As of 1210 PM Wednesday...
Overall, still looking dry to round out the forecast period. An upper low will sag south across the northeast U.S. Sunday into Monday. This could provide a light shower to the area, however, we are looking to remain mainly dry. Low will move off to the east early next week, with upper ridging looking to take hold once again.
&&
.AVIATION /06Z THURSDAY THROUGH MONDAY/... As of 115 AM Thursday...
Patches of dense river valley fog may be possible prior to sunrise this morning; however, extent should be limited by some clouds and light wind. Whatever fog does form will lift around 12-13Z. Outside of any fog, flight conditions should remain VFR through the end of the valid TAF period.
