The National Weather Service in Charleston, WV has issued an EXCESSIVE HEAT WATCH from Friday Afternoon until Saturday Evening.

The remnants of Barry will move through today and into tonight with showers and storms likely. Rain chances should tapper down by sunset as the shortwave trough associated with Barry moves Eastward, but a few lingering showers are still possible overnight. Rainfall amounts near one inch. The overcast skies and rainfall will keep temperatures relatively cool by only reaching the low 80s. Tomorrow we will see a few isolated lingering storms for the afternoon hours with warming temps into the upper 80s.

The heat continues into the latter part of the weekend with highs in the mid 90s with a chance of a few pop-up showers and storms.
