Lots of needed sunshine yesterday and today...Southwest air flow finally brings above freezing temperatures. But winds and cloud cover will be on the increase this evening as a weak disturbance brushes mostly our northern zones Friday night into Saturday. A few flurries are possible, especially in the northern mountains tonight/early Saturday. Limited moisture aloft will keep accumulation on the lighter side. Temperatures fall into the low to mid 20s tonight.
    Snow flurries will gradually come to an end Saturday but low level clouds will stick around into Sunday. Despite the chilly start Saturday morning, a well deserved warming trend will begin and last well into next week. Temperatures will top out in the mid 30s Saturday, 40s Sunday. Another weak fast-moving disturbance will breeze by and deliver a few mountain flurries early Monday. Otherwise, the rest of next week will be dry and much warmer with highs reaching 40s and even 50s before the end of next week.

A few light snow flurries persist in some of our mountain counties. Otherwise things remain dry and calm overnight. Expect strong gusty winds through tonight and temperatures to drop quickly as bitter cold Canadian air arrives. Mostly clear sky will combine with gusts up to 25 MPH to drop the wind chill factor to well below zero tonight.

A weak disturbance will quickly progress through the southeastern US Wednesday. A few light flurries will be confined to southern zones of WV Wednesday. Accumulation will be on the light side with the fast-moving nature of the system.

Light southern precip aside, things remain generally dry and uneventful through Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will stay cold through the work week but will gradually rebound for the weekend and into next week. A couple of quick clippers brush the northern zones this weekend. We'll keepa slight chance of precip for this weekend. Those chances remain unimpressive.

     Low pressure wave crosses the Appalachians this evening and tonight. Light rain showers gradually edge eastward as the frontal boundary reaches our area.  Rain will change to snow quickly with nightfall. Accumulation on the order of 2 or 3 inches can be expected before things gradually dry out Tuesday evening. A few light snow flurries are possible in the southern part of the state and in our mountain counties early Wednesday.  Otherwise things will remain relatively calm for the rest of this week. Lowlands will stay dry until Saturday when another weak low pressure disturbance brings a few light snow flurries back into the forecast.

   Temperatures will be a more interesting story than our whatever precip we muster this week. Cold air behind tonight's front will bring temperatures down to the low to mid 20s early Tuesday. Much colder arctic air will arrive Tuesday night. Expect strong gusty winds to develop Tuesday night into Wednesday. With significant wind gusts and temperatures falling to single digits, Tuesday night will be bone-chilling...Wednesday will be about the same, with lows reaching single digits. We'll see a gradual warm up with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s for the second half of this week...and perhaps even in the 40s for this weekend!

Weak disturbance tracking up the Atlantic Coast will usher in more cloud cover and wintry mix initially in the southeast. Precip will be mostly rain/snow with a few isolated pockets of freezing rain before dawn on Saturday. Some slick spots could develop on roadways overnight before warmer brings a changeover to rain by mid-morning Saturday. We'll see all rain for the rest of the day Saturday with temps topping out in the low 40s. Rain will transition back to snow as nightime temps dip down to the upper 20s again Saturday night.

Expect an inch or two of snow on the ground by Sunday morning. High pressure will move and keep things dry for the rest of Sunday. We'll see a few peaks of sunshine and temperatures in the low to mid 40s Sunday.

Several low pressure systems will cross the Appalachians next week. Look for a few lake effect snow flurries early next week. Temperatures will drop sharply as arctic air invades the region Tuesday. Another weather maker will arrive Thursday. Expect more accumulating snow and single digit temperatures to finish out the work week next week.

High pressure brings a dry forecast with just a few high level clouds into Friday. Expecting a chilly night tonight with temps falling into mid teens in some places. Otherwise Friday will be peaches and cream. Southern air flow ahead of our next approaching system will allow warmer air to mix in & temperatures in the low 40s during the day on Friday.


The next low pressure system will toss heavier cloud cover our way as it scoots up the Atlantic Coast Friday night & Saturday. Wintry precip will overrun the area late Friday night with potential for freezing rain, sleet and some snow to create some icy spots early Saturday. Despite the messy start, Saturday will gradually warm up and dry out towards evening. Daytime high will be in the low 40s.


Sunday looks good with high pressure briefly bringing calm and dry conditions. But that will usher in a series of arctic fronts  for early next week. We could wring out a few showers during the first part of next week. Another quick drop in temperatures is on tap for the second part of next week.

Strong pressure gradient associated with passing cold front brings much colder temperatures and strong gusty winds Wednesday. Temperatures starting this morning in the upper 40s will dip into the low in the teens tonight. With gusts up to 30 MPH, we've got a biting cold night in store with wind chill in single digits.  A few snow flurries and some light accumulations are possible this evening especially in our northern mountain counties through early Thursday morning. Otherwise, high pressure will move in to keep things dry but very cold for the rest of Thursday.

We'll stay dry and generally sunny Friday but another low pressure system will take a northerly track up the Atlantic Coast in time for the weekend. We could see a few snow flurries early Saturday morning with a changeover to rain during the day Saturday...then back to snow Saturday night. Some measureable accumulations are possible, especially in the higher elevations by Sunday morning. Temperatures will gradually rebound into the low 40s this weekend & nito next week. But we'll keep chance of showers in the forecast Sunday night through Tuesday.

Strong low pressure lifts northeast into the Ohio Valley tonight. Warm air ahead of the front will keep temperatures in the upper 30s through tonight. So we'll keep rain in the forecast  through Wednesday morning.  Steep pressue gradient associated with the advancing cold front continues to produce some severe weather across the Central and Southern US.  An isolated thunderstorm is also not out of the question tonight as the frontal boundary edges closer to our area.

Much colder temeratures are in store for Wednesday. Expect strong gusty winds, especially in our mountain counties for much of the day Wednesday. Expect wind chill factor to plummet to single digits by Wednesday night. Cold air aloft on the backside of the low pressure system will quickly change rain over to snow sometime Wedensday afternoon. Snowfall accumulation will be on the light side. Look for an inch or two with some wrap around moisture likely tossing a few more flurries into the forecast Thursday morning.

Large low pressure system will exit stage right...High pressure will take over and things will settle down and dry out nicely for the rest of Thursday and Friday. Another wave of winter weather is on tap for this weekend. Expect mild temperatures and a wintry mix Saturday.
