Beating the heat on the waterslide at the Ridenour Regatta in Nitro, W.Va. on Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

CHARLESTON, W.Va<\/strong>. — As weekend temperatures soar into the mid and upper 90’s, West Virginians are finding creative ways to stay cool.<\/p>\n

Municipal swimming pools are packed, swimming holes at state parks and lakes are also flush with people. The South Charleston Memorial Ice Rink lowered admission to a dollar for folks wanting to spend the afternoon on a sheet of ice. Homeowners may take this opportunity to finally build their own inground swimming pool installation<\/a> that the whole family can use any time during the hot summer days. In addition, residents should make sure that their air conditioners<\/a> are functioning properly to maintain a comfortable temperature indoors. If your ac unit has extensive damages or is already very old, a new ac installation<\/a> may be recommended.<\/span><\/p>\n

Forecasters at the National Weather Service in Charleston say we’ll have one more day of it before things start to radically transform.<\/p>\n

“We have a cold front coming and it’s going to bring more widespread precipitation than just the regular pop up storms,” said Meteorologist Tom Mazza at the Charleston Weather Bureau.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The Morgantown Fire Department helped cool things off at a downtown kids event Saturday<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Those storms are expected to start Sunday evening as the front pushes into West Virginia and by Monday the rainfall could be significant.<\/p>\n

“There is the potential for at least locally excessive rainfall and we could be in for heavy rainfall and flash flooding,” he said.<\/p>\n

But behind that rainfall will be cooler temperatures and even more welcomed low humidity.<\/p>\n

“We’ll have highs in the lower 80’s on Monday and the upper 70’s on Tuesday. The difference is on Monday<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
The public swimming pool in Ripley was a draw like most across West Virginia this weekend in the near 100 degree temperatures<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

our dew points are still going to be in the lower 70’s and on Tuesday they’ll be down in the lower 60’s and that’s going to make it feel a lot nicer,” he said.<\/p>\n

As heat indexes near 110 for much of western West Virginia this weekend, Mazza offered this gem of hope.<\/p>\n

“Wednesday morning and Thursday morning, we’ll start out in the upper 50’s. That’s a cool night for the middle of summer.”<\/p>\n
