Here's the scoop on the snowfall forecast...Low pressure shooting
northward from the Delmarva into northern New England Sunday will
combine with a Clipper type system timed for Monday to bring
unseasonably cold temps, rain showers, breezy conditions and what is
sure to be the last snowfall of the season Sunday night into
Monday/early Tuesday. Could see sustained winds overnight to 20-25
MPH, especially along our ridgetops. Tonight, temps falling to just
below freezing in the mountains & just above freezing in the lowlands
will bring a changeover to a wet snow with nightfall. Initially, warm
soils will keep the wet snow from sticking. But Some minor
accumulations of an inch or two are expected across the lowlands.
8-10" of snow are expected in the mountains of WV & MD into Tuesday as
the departing low pressure off the Eastern Seaboard will leave the
Clipper system to produce more of an upslope air flow in the
mountains.

Be prepared for possible power outages during this time as wet snow
and strong winds may bring down trees and power lines. A Winter Storm
Watch is in effect for several counties in our area. Be sure to stay
tuned to local TV/radio to keep up to date on changing conditions.
Will post updates here as new info comes in!
