Forecast Discussion

Colder air came in strong earlier today as a cold front plunged our temperatures into the 50’s, and this air will stick around for a while. After a decent chance for some showers overnight, high pressure will settle in over Athens, clear up the cloudy skies, and give us some chilly nights.

In fact, on Saturday night, temperatures will bottom out close to freezing or even below it. This has prompted the National Weather Service in Charleston, West Virginia to issue a Freeze Watch for Saturday night. However, clear skies will allow the Sun to warm such a cool night into a milder day, with highs in the low to mid 60’s expected for Sunday and on into the work week.
