April 4 in Parkersburg lands right in the heart of spring's unpredictability — the average high of 62° feels pleasant, but this date has seen everything from a balmy 83° in 2007 to a bitter 22° in 1992. There's a coin-flip chance of rain today (53%), so keep an umbrella handy, though snow is rarely a concern at just 3%.
Parkersburg knows extremes: the mercury has soared to 105° in July 1988 and crashed to -26° in January 1994, a brutal 131-degree swing in the all-time record books. August 2023 brought the wettest single day on record at 4.39 inches, and that same brutal January in 1994 also dumped 18 inches of snow in a single day.
Summer is the star here — highs peak around 87° in mid-July, making June through August the warmest stretch for visitors. If you're cold-averse, avoid mid-January when average highs barely crack 40°. July is also the wettest time of year, averaging over an inch of rain in a single week, so summer trips call for a rain backup plan.
