LEWISBURG (WVVA) - According to the latest statistics from Appalachian Power and MonPower, service could be restored to all customers in the WVVA viewing area in the next 24 hours.

Thousands remain without electricity since June 29's damaging wind storm brought down trees and power lines across the region, however numbers have decreased dramatically in the past several days.

A new storm in West Virginia on Sunday stalled restoration efforts, forcing the power companies to push back some restoration estimates.

Appalachian Power's outage map now only shows Raleigh and Fayette counties with outages. Each county has more than 2,000 still without service Wednesday morning.

For MonPower customers, several hundred outages remained in Greenbrier, Monroe and Summers counties Wednesday morning.
