Deep low pressure lifting northeast into our area is expected to bring rain showers initially into our area this evening. Then as temperatures drop into the low 30s with sunset, a changeover to snow is expected just before midnight. Heavy accumulations are possible for some of our mountain counties & along the eastern panhandle. Up to 10 inches of snow is possible along some of the ridgetops. In addtion, with surface temps so close to freezing this makes for a very wet snow. These conditions could easily lead to downed trees and power outages Friday night & Saturday. The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning (purple bondary) in effect until 10 AM Saturday for areas that will likely be effected by this system. There is also a Winter Weather Advisory (blue boundary) in effect for much of the surrounding area as points west of I-79 will stay on the western fringe of this system.
2-4 inches of snow are expected foe Morgantown & suorunding areas by Saturday evening. The system will exit to the northeast late Saturday & dump significant amounts of snow along the way. High pressure will gain control over the our area for the rest of the weekend. Temps for the most part will range from the low 30s into the low 50s into Monday. Some light rain will skirt the area Monday into Monday night.
