air ahead of the frontal boundary will stick around long enough to keep rain
in the forecast until cold air sags into the region late tonight. This will
allow patchy freezing drizzle briefly, then we'll see a changeover to snow
showers for early Tuesday morning. Morgantown and low lying areas will stay
on the southern edge of the coldest air & snowfall accumulations will stay
on the lighter side. Some of the higher elevations in WV will measure a
couple of inches of the white stuff Tuesday. Some instability aloft will
also bring strong gusty winds and slight possibility for a few thunderclaps
overnight. Look for a low tonight of 24.
We wake up to a dusting of snow and persistent low level clouds Tuesday
morning. Otherwise, clouds will gradually diminish as the day progresses.
Even with a few peaks of sunshine, temperatures will struggle to reach above
freezing during the day.
We're expecting a foggy start Wednesday. Otherwise, high pressure willremain in control, providing a chance for more sunshine & warmer
temperatures during the day Wednesday. Temperatures will manage mid to upper
40s.
Thursday morning will start dry...but strong low pressure will bring thick
cloud cover and potentially heavy rain. Scattered rain showers will overrun
the area from the west around mid-morning on Thursday. Expect locally heavy
downpours with higher than average rainfall for this time of year. Cold air
Friday will change any lingering precip to snow for this weekend...Still a
few question marks in the weekend forecast. Rain/snow mix is likely with
temperatures still on the cool side.
