Forecast

Poca, West Virginia's weather is affected by its location in the Appalachian Mountains, which creates varying air pressure patterns.

Low-pressure systems from the west bring rain and storms, while high-pressure systems from the east bring fair weather. The Appalachian Mountains block and redirect air masses, causing air pressure to rise and fall.

This creates a mix of weather patterns, with changing air pressure influencing the weather.

Poca's valley location traps cold air, making winters colder, while surrounding mountains block warm air, making summers milder. The nearby Ohio River adds moisture, contributing to unstable air pressure and weather patterns. Weather patterns are influenced by the jet stream, a fast-moving band of air that brings changing air pressure and weather.

In winter, cold air from Canada brings low pressure, leading to snow and cold weather.

In summer, warm air from the Gulf of Mexico brings high pressure, leading to hot and humid weather.

In spring and fall, shifting air pressure patterns bring mild and changing weather.

Poca has a humid subtropical climate, with warm summers and cold winters, influenced by the Appalachian Mountains and nearby bodies of water.

This climate type leads to varying air pressure patterns, resulting in a mix of weather conditions throughout the year.
