Charleston, WV – Strong storms are forecasted to hit the Charleston region Sunday afternoon, bringing damaging winds and heavy rain.
According to the National Weather Service (NWS) in Charleston, an initial round of rain will arrive overnight into Sunday morning. Gusty winds will develop across mountainous areas in the morning before intensifying in the lowlands during the afternoon and evening. Officials warn of potential downed trees, saturated soils, and localized flooding.
The storms could trigger power outages, especially where winds exceed damaging thresholds. The NWS emphasizes the importance of preparing for these conditions by securing outdoor objects and avoiding travel during peak storm hours.
A marginal severe weather risk has been issued for most of the region, with stronger conditions possible in isolated areas. Residents are advised to monitor local updates and weather alerts throughout Sunday.
Meteorologists urge caution as the storm system coincides with saturated ground from recent rain, increasing the risk of tree falls. Plan accordingly and take precautions for power disruptions.
