Remnants of Hurricane Isaias to bring wind and rain this weekend

Summarised from 2 outlets · 7 reports · Updated 9 Oct, 23:48 · Archive

The remnants of Hurricane Isaias will bring gusty winds and rain to West Virginia on Saturday and Sunday.

Hurricane Isaias is expected to make landfall this evening as a category 3 hurricane. As the system moves inland and weakens, its remnants will reach West Virginia, with the centre tracking west of the region.

Rain is forecast to begin as early as Saturday lunchtime, with the heaviest impacts expected Saturday afternoon through Sunday morning. Wind gusts of 30–40 mph are expected across much of the region, with gusts potentially reaching 45–50 mph in some areas and isolated gusts of up to 60 mph possible along ridge lines above 3,500 feet. Around 1 inch of rain is expected for most of the area, though some areas may see heavier amounts in downpours.

The primary threats are gusty winds capable of causing power outages and persistent rainfall that could lead to localized flash flooding. Temperatures will remain cool, topping out in the upper to mid-50s, which may limit thunderstorm development. A Wind Advisory is in effect from 5 PM Saturday through 11 AM Sunday for parts of southern West Virginia. Both Saturday and Sunday have been designated First Alert Weather Days.
