In general, this period looks to be as hot as it generally gets in the area.
Typical days of +86 per year. (Map is not perfect, but a ballpark idea in area) In general the highest Wv spots rarely top 80.. Fair shot at that, this weekend.
** Car thermometers, bank/store thermometers will likely read higher than reality during this period. Lots of heat, radation reflecting back off artificial surfaces, objects.
Max temps off the 12z ECMWF with heat indecies Fri-Mon. The GFS has consistently been hotter than the ECMWF. What will likely occur is open, and town areas lean towards GFS, higher, wooded, rural areas lean towards the ECMWF.
Typical # of days of +86°
Looking further out, models are hinting at a July temp turnaround. Both the new Euro weeklies just in tonight and the CFSV2 evolve the pattern in a very similar way over the coming several weeks.
More clouds than sun, a few afternoon showers north. Rain, showers was more widespread south of Canaan through midday vs elsewhere.

Late Next Week Heat Wave??
A pattern like this, low pressures in the west, heights building in the east is a pattern to setup what can bring the hottest temps of the season. Models have a tendency to overdue this. Something to watch as we go into later next week, weekend.
Cloudy, light rain to start. Heavier in parts of Wv. Lots of hay down across the area that got wet. Clouds broke this afternoon. Some rain developed across areas near Maysville this afternoon.
