More sprinkles south Wednesday, rain returns area-wide soon
Tonight provides partly cloudy skies and temperatures dipping back into the mid to upper 40s as drier air works its way into the region. A brief isolated sprinkle is possible early on in our Virginia counties, but that threat will end before midnight. It's not a bad night to view the Lyrids Meteor Shower – it peaked last night but still shouldn't be a bad showing tonight!
Wednesday is a bit of a split forecast for our region, with sunshine, warmer temperatures and dry conditions expected for much of our West Virginia counties as temperatures rebound into the mid to upper 70s. However, with a stalled front down to our south along the Virginia/North Carolina border, a few showers are possible along the WV/VA border and temperatures will be held down a little cooler closer to 70 with more clouds around.
Thursday sees that front begin to nudge its way back closer to the region, and that will attempt to throw a couple of more showers our way. Overall, it's a mostly dry day with only a scattered shower or two with highs in the low 70s.
Friday provides a better risk for scattered showers and thunderstorms as that front lifts north as a warm front. One or two strong thunderstorms will be possible along this warm front, though the dynamics at play are not as strong as recent severe weather episodes. That being said, a strong storm or two amidst scattered showers cannot be ruled out, though it's a low risk overall, with high temperatures in the mid 70s. The best chance for a storm or two will be in the middle afternoon. Showers will increase in coverage as a front approaches during the overnight hours, making for a wet stretch to begin the weekend.

Saturday begins on a wet note with a cold front crossing during the morning. Widespread showers are a good bet with clouds and an overall gross start to the day. However, the day will improve weather-wise with time and the late afternoon should be solid! It'll be cooler with highs in the mid 60s.
Sunday features plenty of sunshine with high temperatures rebounding to near 70 degrees with plenty of sun expected.
Monday sees high pressure still in control with plenty of sunshine expected and highs in the mid 70s in what is shaping up to be another gorgeous day.

Tuesday sees a front approaching late in the day, but we should remain dry before dark. We will warm up out ahead of the front, with highs jumping up into the upper 70s.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, there will be chances for rain each day with a series of systems nearby but no particular day is a washout with plenty of dry time expected. Highs will be above normal in the 70s for the expectation of Friday, where we dip back into the 60s.

‘Heat dome' to bring hottest temperatures of the year to Middle Tennessee
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WKRN) — The News 2 Weather Authority team is forecasting the hottest temperatures of the year to arrive for the start of summer. A 'heat dome' will bring extreme temperatures to the eastern half of the United States. The forecast for the first weekend of summer is for temperatures in the mid-90s and feels like temperatures over 100° from Saturday, June 21, through Wednesday, June 25. These high temperatures are caused by a heat dome. The term 'heat dome' is relatively new, but it does a great job of describing what's going to happen. FORECAST: Middle Tennessee & Southern Kentucky Weather A heat dome describes the impacts that a large, slow-moving area of high pressure has on the atmosphere. High pressure typically leads to sunny and dry weather. This is because high pressure causes sinking air, and the sinking causes the air to dry out and heat up. The sinking air also acts as a dome because it prevents the hottest air near the surface from escaping. This is why during prolonged heat domes, we can start to see air quality issues. For this event, the high pressure will move over us starting this weekend, and it won't exit until at least Wednesday or Thursday, June 26. Want the forecast delivered directly to your inbox? Sign up for the News 2 Forecast Newsletter This prolonged period of dry weather will cause the temperatures to get hotter and hotter. By the middle of next week, temperatures could be near 100°. It won't be a dry heat either. Thanks to all the rain we have seen this year, the humidity will remain very high. This will make it feel like over 105°! These extreme feels-like temperatures will prompt the National Weather Service to issue its first heat advisories of the year. It's unlikely, but if it gets even hotter, they will have to issue extreme heat warnings. With this extreme heat on the way, it is important to take safety precautions. Take frequent breaks, drink a lot of water, and know the difference if you are experiencing heat exhaustion or heat stroke.

Legendary Oklahoma Meteorologist Gary England Dies at 85
Longtime KWTV chief meteorologist Gary England has died. He was 85. The Oklahoma City, Oklahoma CBS affiliate said England kept Oklahomans informed for 41 years. Upon his retirement in 2013, England was called the Oklahoma's Master Meteorologist by NPR, while The New York Times called him The Weather God of Oklahoma City. 'We are heartbroken to announce that our beloved Gary England passed this evening. Gary passed peacefully on the evening of June 10th, surrounded by his loved ones, including his wife of 63 years, Mary, and his loving daughter, Molly. Gary was proud to have protected Oklahoma from its deadliest storms. He will be deeply and forever missed,' his family said in a statement. He was known for pioneering the use of technology in forecasting. In 1981, he became the first person in history to implement Enterprise Electronics Doppler radar for direct warnings to the public. In 1990, England developed First Warning, an automated severe weather warning system that provided instant weather warning maps in the corner of the television screen. One year later, he created StormTracker, a system that projected the path of storms and the time of their arrival, a program that is now used nationwide. England authored 4 books and was the subject of another. He appeared in more than 50 national and international severe weather programs in addition to the Steven Spielberg movie "Twister." In 2006, England was a keynote speaker for the dedication of the new National Weather Center in Norman, OK. As part of the Oklahoma Centennial celebration in 2007, he was immortalized by the sculpting of his bust, which honored '100 Heroes and Outlaws' of Oklahoma repute during the state's first 100 years. England was inducted into the Oklahoma Hall of Fame in 2013. KWTV
