A Week Of Weather

A flood watch remains in effect for several counties including Monongalia, Preston & Tucker in West Virginia through Monday evening. Up to two inches of rain are expected to fall by Tuesday, although we can still expect a break in the action sometime Monday. After the well-deserved pause, expect rain to change over to snow by Monday night. Temps remain steady in lower 40s and mid 30s until Monday night, when they’ll get down to the mid 30s and upper 20s. A slight chance of snow continues from Tuesday morning through early Wednesday morning with light accumulation (1.5”) in the lowlands and 4-6” in higher elevations. Snow will fade away by Wednesday morning as high pressure builds over the area. A rain/snow mix is on tap for Thursday as the trough of Canadian air continues to battle with the west-southwest flow. However, cold air will prevail and we’ll see all snow once again Friday. Saturday and Sunday will be dry but well below freezing with lows in the teens as that Canadian air carves a deep gash into the southeastern US.
