Another quick clipper will skirt the area tonight and early Saturday. Expect a few light flurries with an inch or so accumulation, mainly across northern portions of West Virginia tonight through early Saturday. The highest snowfall accumulations of 2-3 inches will occur well to the north of our forecast area along the Great Lakes and towards eastern PA...Steady southwest air flow will bring plenty of warm air to the Mid-Atlantic states from the Gulf Coast this weekend. So some light freezing drizzle is also possible as warm air mixes into the upper atmosphere Saturday. Showers will gradually come to an end as the day progesses. Clouds will begin to break up late Saturday as drier air and  high pressure gradually take control for the rest of the weekend. Dry conditions and a few peaks of sunshine will last into the first part of next week. Temperatures will also gradually warm into the low 40s, so Sunday and Monday should be downright pleasant! More winter weather is on tap for Tuesday and Wednesday.  Looks like we may see some freezing rain and or sleet Tuesday then colder temps with snow Wednesday. Watch for updates this weekend!!
