A few light flurries brush the northern zones early Saturday as a clipper system exits to the northeast. Southwest airflow will pull warm air into the region bringing mild temperatures to the forecast through the short term. Some of our mountain counties may see some patchy freezing drizzle tonight and early Sunday as warm air mixes in. Overnight low Saturday: 26...Otherwise, we'll finish out the weekend dry with temperatures in the mid to upper 30s. Low lying clouds gradually evacuate Sunday leaving a brief sun/cloud mix to start next week.
    A new storm will develop in the Mississippi Valley and bring another wave of winter weather starting Monday night. We'll want to watch this system closely as new data becomes available. Drizzle/freezing rain and or sleet will creep into the Ohio Valley and the Appalachians making for potentially hazardous driving conditions Tuesday into Groundhog Day. Cold air will slide in on the backside of the frontal boundary, bringing a sharp drop in temps and a quick transition to snow late Wednesday into Thursday. Sky will start to clear out by Friday.

Another quick clipper will skirt the area tonight and early Saturday. Expect a few light flurries with an inch or so accumulation, mainly across northern portions of West Virginia tonight through early Saturday. The highest snowfall accumulations of 2-3 inches will occur well to the north of our forecast area along the Great Lakes and towards eastern PA...Steady southwest air flow will bring plenty of warm air to the Mid-Atlantic states from the Gulf Coast this weekend. So some light freezing drizzle is also possible as warm air mixes into the upper atmosphere Saturday. Showers will gradually come to an end as the day progesses. Clouds will begin to break up late Saturday as drier air and  high pressure gradually take control for the rest of the weekend. Dry conditions and a few peaks of sunshine will last into the first part of next week. Temperatures will also gradually warm into the low 40s, so Sunday and Monday should be downright pleasant! More winter weather is on tap for Tuesday and Wednesday.  Looks like we may see some freezing rain and or sleet Tuesday then colder temps with snow Wednesday. Watch for updates this weekend!!

Low level clouds will persist across the area as we finish out the work week. Our next clipper system will bring a quick shot of snow to the northern mountains tonight and early Friday. Another fast moving weather system will bring some light accumulation from the Great Lakes Friday night into Saturday. Accumulation of an inch or two is possible, especially in the northern mountains Friday and early Saturday. Otherwise clouds will begin to break up and things will stay generally dry between a few peaks of sunshine for the rest of this weekend.

Seasonal temperatures are expected now through the weekend. Daytime highs will reach a few degrees above freezing. Lows will generally be in the low to mid 20s. More winter weather is on tap for early next week.

    Strengthening low pressure system will progress up the Atlantic Coast tonight and Wednesday. Another low pressure wave will arrive with a few snow flurries Thursday. Mild trend continues into the weekend.
    Rain showers or mixed precip will spread into the area from the east this evening. Strong southern air flow will bring plenty of warm air and will limit snowfall amounts for most of the low lying areas Tuesday night. Still expecting temperatures to cool enough to allow rain/mixed precip to eventually change to a very wet snow early Wednesday morning. Look for total snowfall accumulation between 2-4 inches for most of the lowland areas. This would be just enough for snow-covered roadways to create delays Wednesday morning. More significant snowfall of 8-10 inches will be realized in the eastern mountains of West Virginia, where colder air will facilitate a faster transition to snow.
    Cold air will struggle on the backside of the front and mild temperature trend will continue Wednesday. Highs will manage to reach the mid to upper 30s so expect mixed precip for part of the day of Wednesday.
    Winds out of the northwest Thursday will allow cold air and a few light snow flurries to sink into the region. Despite the cold air moving in, daytime highs will only be a degree or two above freezing. Once again, significant snow accumulation will for the most part be limited to higher elevations.
    A pair of weak low pressure waves will arrive Friday and again this weekend. Some light accumulations are possible with those systems but the mild temperature trend will continue through the weekend. Daytime highs will be in the upper 30s/low 40s this weekend. Precip will likely be rain or mixed. More refined forecast  to come...

     Southern air flow will bring about more mild temps this week as bitter cold arctic air retreats to higher latitudes. Cloud cover will be on the increase Monday night as weak low pressure skirts the area & brings a few light flurries to North-Central West Virginia. Expect lows in the upper 20s and a dusting of snow on the roadways Tuesday morning. Strong southern air flow & warm air advection will put temperatures in the low 40s as  more moisture arrives late Tuesday. Look for rain showers to overrun the area Tuesday evening then change to snow overnight into Wednesday. Accumulation will depend on the timing of the cold air on the backside of the front Wednesday. Looks like the cold air will be slow to arrive on the backside but lowlands may still see 2-4 inches of snow by Wednesday. Occasional flurries will linger into Thrusday and higher elevations can expect 8-10 inches by then.

     The system will press onward Thursday, delivering more snow to the northeast. Otherwise look for generally dry and mild conditions Thursday and Friday. Weak low pressure will brush the area and may bring mixed precp this weekend. Strong cold air and deeper moisture may hold off until the beginning of next week.

  It goes with out saying we've got a "bring your pets in" weekend on tap...Low pressure wave pushes east today. Focus will switch from snowfall to bitter cold air washing over the eastern US tonight. Breezy conditions and single digit temperatures will put wind chill factor a few degrees below zero Friday night. Lake effect snow & weak low pressure will skirt the area Saturday and Sunday, producing a few light flurries. Otherwise, high pressure will maintain control over our weekend weather and any additional accumulation will be minimal.

Bitter cold air will remain in place across much of the east through the weekend. Night time temps will fall to single digits over the next few nights. Despite the increasing sunlight hours, temps will struggle to reach the low 20s even during the day.

Temperatures will gradually warm up & rise above freezing next week. Another low pressure wave will cross the Ohio Valley Monday into Tuesday. Expect snow & mixed precip Monday & Tuesday. Snow flurries will be ending by midweek.

Low pressure rides along the Central Plains up the Ohio Valley today and tonight. Frontal boundary lies poised to deliver several inches of snow to Mid-Atlantic States & along the northeastern U.S... Behind the front, polar air will invade the region tonight into Friday. Winds out of the northwest will usher in subzero wind chills Friday night. NWS has a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until early Friday. Expect 4-6 inches of snow across much of WV. Upslope snow showers linger, especially in higher elevations Friday into Saturday.  Mountain counties will have on the order of 8-10 inches to start the weekend.

High pressure will gain control to keep the weekend generally dry. Weak low pressure will skirt the area Saturday night & may bring a few light snow flurries into Sunday morning. No additional accumulation will be associated with this weekend system. Otherwise we'll stay dry but still very cold and breezy  this weekend. Another wave of winter weather is on tap for Monday & Tuesday.
