After a few days of showers and storms totalling general 1.0 to 1.5″ (with exceptions) across the Alleghenies, we will continue the wet theme in to Monday. Today won’t be a wash out or even consistently wet, but the shower and storm threat will increase this afternoon and a general rain threat increases overnight and through Sunday.

Ending March With Spring-Like Storms

March 31, 2025. 7:28am

One line of storms through overnight. Another round fires up later today ahead of the cold front. The SPC outlook centers the highest risk threat of storms mainly east of the Alleghenies. That said mid afternoon is still worth watching to see where they fire up.

■SPC OUTLOOK (overall, wind-hail-tornado)

■ We begin the day in the 50s for most with upper 40s across the Wv tops. Temps climb 55-60 later this morning in to the afternoon .

●7am Temps

●Temps today off the HRRR

–

■The cold front sitting back west

●That front makes progress eastbound today allowing that mild sector to sit over the Alleghenies a good portion of the day. With dewpoints spiking near 56-60 this afternoon.
