Here comes the heat! Summer-like pattern to last through the week
Tonight features mostly clear skies, which will still look a bit hazy at times with smoke visible in the sky from Canadian wildfires. That should create a really nice sunset tonight once again! It's not as chilly overnight with temperatures dipping back into the upper 40s.
Tuesday sees temperatures jump about ten degrees for highs as high pressure shifts to our east. That will enable a southeasterly breeze to kick in, which is a warm and dry air flow. As a result, we will see high temperatures jump all the way up into the low 80s. These 80s are here to stay for a bit! That haze will likely be around once again at least in the morning but the southeast breeze should begin to help filter that from our region during the afternoon.
Wednesday has a shot at becoming the hottest day of the year so far – Beckley's warmest temperature so far is 84 degrees, and we will make a run into the mid 80s with partly sunny skies and southeasterly wind dragging warmer and dry air into the region once again.
Thursday sees a bit of humidity return to the region along with the aforementioned heat, as we see our wind direction begin to change and arrive from the southwest, dragging moist air from the Gulf out ahead of our next system. Once again, high temperatures should have no problem reaching the mid 80s, with a few towns in our western counties likely flirting with 90 degrees on the bank thermometers. We will stay dry but our next system will be approaching.
How to protect your body from the heat this summer
Friday sees a slow-moving cold front approach the region by the afternoon, which will provide the risk for a few scattered showers and storms late in the day. There should still be plenty of dry time during the day, but our weather will become more unsettled the later the day goes. A combination of heat, humidity and marginally unstable air will allow for a few thunderstorms to pop up. Though the severe weather risk overall is low – a strong wind gust or two can't be ruled out along with small hail, with highs in the low 80s.
Saturday will be an unsettled day with scattered showers and storms likely as an area of low pressure moves along the aforementioned front that will still be near the region. As a result, the day looks to provide a few chances for storms with highs dipping back into the mid 70s with the abundant clouds and showers that will be expected. A few storms will once again be possible as well.
Why you may not want to use last summer's sunscreen
Sunday sees Saturday's system scoot down to our south and stall along the North Carolina/Virginia border. The close proximity of that front to our region means we will still see the risk for a few scattered showers and storms with high temperatures in the mid to upper 70s. There will be plenty of dry time, especially the farther you are.
Monday continues the risk for a few isolated storms, however there will be plenty of dry time with high temperatures inching back up into the upper 70s as our generally warm pattern continues.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, there is no real sign of any big cooldown. Scattered showers will be possible as a secondary system provides the risk for scattered storms Tuesday into Wednesday before we dry out on Thursday. Highs will be in the 70s on Monday with 80s on Tuesday and Wednesday before dipping back into the 70s on Thursday as colder air noses in.

Bank of Canada holds interest rate at 2.75%
Headlines Latest News Podcasts (new window) Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem and senior deputy governor Carolyn Rogers give a statement and answer questions about the central bank's interest rate announcement. Photo: The Canadian Press / Justin Tang Rate decision comes amid economic uncertainty and tariff tensions. Début du widget Widget. Passer le widget ? Fin du widget Widget. Retourner au début du widget ? The Bank of Canada is holding the interest rate at 2.75 per cent for the second time in a row. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem has a tough balancing act in front of him with this rate decision as United States tariffs still hang in the balance. In March, the central bank cut its rate by 25 basis points to 2.75 per cent. The bank held the 2.75 per cent rate in April to control inflation, noting Canada's trade war with the U.S. could lead to a recession. There has been speculation about whether Macklem would hold that rate or cut it further to offset a rise in prices due to tariffs. U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Tuesday hiking tariffs on steel and aluminum — two key Canadian industries — to 50 per cent. Macklem is holding a news conference about the decision at 10:30 a.m. ET. Peter Armstrong (new window) All eyes now turn to the bank's next decision on July 30. That release comes with a full updated set of forecasts. Today, the bank said it's holding while it gains more information on U.S. trade policy and its impacts. The bank hopes to have more information about trade policy by the time we meet here again next month. Macklem's remarks Jenna Benchetrit (new window) In his pre-published remarks, Macklem addresses U.S. tariffs — specifically that China and the U.S. have stepped back from high tariffs, that negotiations are underway between the U.S. and other countries and that the market turmoil we saw in April has receded. However, the outcomes of the trade negotiations are highly uncertain, tariffs are well above their levels at the beginning of 2025 and new trade actions are still being threatened, he says. Sounds like trade uncertainty will be a major theme during Macklem's news conference. Industry leaders say federal government also needs to address unfair trade practices — like steel dumping. Despite growing interest in the model, experts say there are hurdles to building new units. First plumes reached Mediterranean on May 18, with more arriving this week.

How to get Drake UK tour tickets as rapper heads for Wireless residency
Drake has announced his UK and Europe tour dates, following on from his history-making three-night stop at London's Wireless Festival. The Canadian rapper, who has five Grammys to his name, last visited the UK in 2019 but is set to bring his Anita Max Win tour here in the summer. Here's all you need to know about where you can catch Drake in the UK and Europe, as well as why his Wireless appearance is so special. Drake is making a landmark appearance at London's Wireless Festival as part of his UK tour leg where he will, for the first time ever at the event, headline all three nights but with three different sets. He'll hit the Finsbury Park festival from 11-13 July to mark its 20th anniversary and will be joined by different support acts each night. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Wireless Festival (@wirelessfest) On Friday, Drake begins his Wireless residency with PARTYNEXTDOOR, who he released a recent collaborative album with and who is joining him on tour. They'll also bring special guest Summer Walker. Saturday sees Drake return to the Finsbury Park stage with The Mandem, while on Sunday he'll wrap things up with special guests Burna Boy and Vybz Kartel. The full Wireless line-up is yet to be announced. If you can't make it to any of Drake's three nights at Wireless, there are still other options to see him on his tour in the UK and Europe. He'll travel on to the Utilita Arena in Birmingham on 20 and 21 July, followed by another double set of dates at Manchester's Co-op Live on 25 and 26 July. The tour heads over to Europe for the rest of the summer, where the rapper will perform in Amsterdam in July. He'll be in Antwerp, Zurich, Cologne, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Milan in August, before moving on to Paris, Berlin, Munich, and finally Hamburg in September. Singer-songwriter and rapper PARTYNEXTDOOR is touring with Drake after releasing their collaborative album, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U. Unfortunately for Drake fans who haven't yet snapped up Wireless tickets, most of the festival is already sold out with just the VIP Experience left. Pre-sale tickets for the UK and Europe dates became available on Wednesday, 4 June, but if you weren't lucky enough to get into the pre-sale there are still chances available to see Drake. There's another pre-sale on Thursday, 5 June and his tour dates will go on general sale on Friday, 6 June, with all ticket sales starting at 12pm and the waiting room opening at 11:45am.
