WEST VIRGINIA — Residents should prepare for several consecutive days of pleasant fall weather, according to Holler Herald Chief Meteorologist Earl “Radar” Mullins, who does not trust the situation at all.

Monday and Tuesday should remain sunny and cool, followed by warmer temperatures Wednesday. Sunshine and comfortable afternoons are expected to continue through Saturday.

“This is too many nice days in a row,” Earl said. “West Virginia is clearly planning something.”

High temperatures should generally climb from the upper 60s and lower 70s early in the week into the upper 70s around Wednesday and Thursday. Cooler nights will continue, particularly across northern West Virginia.

Sunday brings increasing clouds and the possibility of rain, assuming the forecast survives that long.

Earl recommends keeping sunglasses, a jacket and an umbrella in the vehicle at all times.

“You might need all three before you reach the end of the driveway,” he explained.

The forecast currently carries a confidence rating of 37%, which Earl described as unusually reckless.

Residents are encouraged to enjoy the sunshine while remaining emotionally prepared for West Virginia to change its mind without notice.
