More rain was expected across north-central West Virginia through the August 14 weekend after a workweek of intermittent thunderstorms.
Forecasters identified Tuesday as the first likely dry day. In Lewis County, that timing affected far more than outdoor plans: saturated ground, exposed building materials and ongoing debris work made every additional downpour a recovery concern.
The forecast is preserved as a dated record, not a current warning. Residents should always use the latest National Weather Service alerts for present conditions.
