Clouds will be on the increase and high pressure exits to the east today. A low pressure system will cross the Mississippi River Valley today and reach our area later tonight. The leading edge of that front will bring a few rain showers to the area tonight & early tomorrow morning. Temperatures tonight will fall to the low 30s so we'll likely see a few snow flurries early Wednesday. Not much accumulation is expected before snow turns back to rain by midday Wednesday.

Wednesday, temperatures will only manage the mid 40s. Rain showers continue during the day. In the higher elevations of West Virginia, snow flurries will persist through most of the day. Accumulation in the mountains could add up to a few inches by Wednesday night. Lows fall to the low 30s once again.

Low-lying clouds and fog will linger Thursday morning. A few light snow flurries are also likely, especially for the mountain counties and in the eastern panhandle of West Virginia. Another system will arrive on the heels of the mid-week system Thursday night/Friday. Expect temperatures to reach the mid to upper 40s Thursday & low 40s Friday. A few light snow flurries are possible for the mountain counties. Elsewhere, widespread rain showers are likely Friday.

We'll begin to see a gradual warm up with weekend temps reaching the mid 50s and even well into the 60s by Monday. But more rain showers are likely from Sunday through at least the first half of next week. This could result in potential flash-flooding problems next week...The real nice Spring-time weather is just around the corner, I swear!
