A few light snow flurries persist in some of our mountain counties. Otherwise things remain dry and calm overnight. Expect strong gusty winds through tonight and temperatures to drop quickly as bitter cold Canadian air arrives. Mostly clear sky will combine with gusts up to 25 MPH to drop the wind chill factor to well below zero tonight.

A weak disturbance will quickly progress through the southeastern US Wednesday. A few light flurries will be confined to southern zones of WV Wednesday. Accumulation will be on the light side with the fast-moving nature of the system.

Light southern precip aside, things remain generally dry and uneventful through Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will stay cold through the work week but will gradually rebound for the weekend and into next week. A couple of quick clippers brush the northern zones this weekend. We'll keepa slight chance of precip for this weekend. Those chances remain unimpressive.
