settling down to 24 degrees. Friday will be mainly cloudy with highs
in the low 40s. Then a weak cold front will sweep across the area
Friday afternoon/evening. Light rain or a rain/snow mix will arrive
with the leading edge of the cold front Friday afternoon. Then quick
change over to snow is expected with sundown. Lows in the mid 20s will
allow for some light snow accumulations up to an inch or two by
Saturday morning. Another front, with colder air & deeper moisture
will arrive quick on the heels of Friday's front during the day
Saturday. That cold air behind this front will bury temps in the teens
by Saturday night. Strong gusty winds to 20+MPH will create blowing
snow, adding to any potentially hazardous conditions. Northwest winds
Saturday will allow for better upslope snow production, especially in
the mountains & east-facing slopes. Widespread snow showers Saturday &
Saturday night will bring 5-7" of new snow across much of northern &
central West Virginia. The higher elevations in the eastern mountains
& Garrett County can expect 8 or 9 " of new by Sunday morning.
Sunday will dry out under high pressure & partly sunny skies. But
temperatures will struggle to reach the upper 20s during the day. Lows
fall into the upper teens Sunday night. Monday looks dry and warmer
with temps near 40. Then another disturbance will bring more winter
weather Tuesday. Check back for more weekend winter weather updates.
