High Waters

Watch for decreasing likelihood of rain as the current low pressure system begins to move toward the Atlantic coast this evening. Any lingering moisture will turn to fog and light & patchy drizzle by early morning Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Flood watches also remain in effect until Monday morning for a large portion of West Virginia as current rainfall amounts are intensified by snow and ice melt. High pressure and mild temperatures build back into the mountain state by Monday afternoon, setting the stage for weak low pressure and minimal chances rain showers later Tuesday and Wednesday. Look for increasing clouds Thursday with precipitation likely Thursday night and Friday. Current models have some difficulty agreeing on the timing and type of precip for this time period. For now we’ll call it rain with perhaps a very wet snow mixing in for Thursday night and Friday. We should start drying out by the weekend next week.
