Pure Snow

A few light snow flurries will continue to fall in the mountain counties of West Virginia today. For the most part we’ll get a break from the snow today as another strong low pressure system looms on the western horizon. Look for increasing clouds tonight with lows around 20. The cold/snowy trend continues through next week. Temps all week long will struggle to reach above freezing as a trough of arctic air cuts into the Deep South. A winter storm watch will go into effect late tonight and continue through Monday for most of north and central WV. Although Monday will mark the heaviest snowfall of next week, we will see some dry periods Monday as the low wraps around to the north and east. Still, expect snow accumulations in most of the northern lowland areas of 4-6 inches by Tuesday. Higher elevations will see totals closer to 8+ inches. Light and periodic snow flurries will continue through most of next week with temps steady in the 20s. High pressure will pass quickly Friday, providing slightly warmer temps and a dry forecast before another wave of snow arrives next weekend.
