SUMMARY: Southern West Virginia is experiencing a wet evening, with rain affecting areas like Bluefield and along Route 77. Temperatures are around 60°F, so a light jacket and umbrella are advised. Rain is expected throughout the state, with showers moving from Virginia to the Carolinas and along the Atlantic Coast. The weather pattern will remain active, but there will be breaks, minimizing the flooding threat. However, isolated areas may experience flash flooding. Rainfall is expected to exceed an inch in some regions, particularly Pocahontas and Greenbrier counties. The weekend looks promising, with next rain chances on Tuesday.

It’s a very wet evening around the region, as showers associated with an upper-level disturbance make their way into the state.

SUMMARY: The West Virginia Department of Highways proposed two options for the Taz Valley Road widening project: adding a two-way left turn lane or constructing four roundabouts. Many local business owners, including Rebecca Stratton of Sprout Salon and the Dairy Queen owner, are strongly opposed to the roundabouts. These roundabouts would take over much of their properties, including the Dairy Queen’s location. Both businesses have gathered thousands of signatures against the plan. Local community members are also expressing their concerns, with little support for the roundabouts. A public meeting on May 19 will allow residents to voice their opinions.

SUMMARY: The US and China have agreed to significant tariff reductions after intense trade war talks, announced by Treasury Secretary Scott Besson in Geneva. President Trump had previously imposed a 145% tariff on Chinese goods, countered by China’s 125% tariff on US goods, severely disrupting trade. This truce, part of a 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs, aims to ease economic damage affecting American businesses and consumers. Though details will be released soon, President Trump insists on maintaining tariffs above 10% to ensure fair trade. The deal marks a crucial step toward restoring the world’s largest trade partnership.

The United States and China agreed on Monday to cut back most of their recent tariffs for a 90-day truce in President Donald Trump’s trade war.
