Scattered snow gets hung up in the mountains tonight. Much of the area will begin drying out but another quick dose of snow will graze our northern counties before midnight. Could also see some freezing rain very briefly before precip ends early Wednesday. Lows dip into the upper 20s/low 30s tonight. Slickery roads possible for your AM drive. Lingering moisture could make for JUST enough slush or ice on some of the roads to cause problems Wednesday, especially in the eastern mountains. Sky conditions gradually clear up for Thursday. Warmer air will bring highs in the 40s & 50s by the weekend. But the next frontal system bring rain, snow and sleet Friday.

Tonight's forecast features continued snow this evening followed by gradually clearing skies after midnight. Lows will dip into the low/mid teens. Snow returns as early as lunchtime Monday, carrying into early Tuesday. Temperatures will range in the mid/upper 20s towards the north. But warmer air wedging into the southwestern counties will allow for rain to briefly mix in in the afternoon. Preston & Tucker in WV and Garrett County, MD will be under a winter storm warning from 2 PM Monday until 10 AM Tuesday. 4-8 inches of additional snow accumulation are expected in those counties as a clipper sweeps through. Keep the shovel handy. Another clipper rolls through with snow Tuesday night!

Winter storm warning (pink) near Lewisburg, WV until 7 PM this evening. Winter weather advisory (purple) until 1 AM Monday. Winter storm watch (blue) until 1 AM Monday. An additional 2-5 inches this afternoon & evening will bring snow totals to 4-8" in those areas. Could see some gusts to 50 MPH at times overnight into Monday morning. Stay safe!

Another round of snow with rain mixing into mainly the southwestern counties is in store for late Monday and Monday night. Here's the total snowfall forecast through Tuesday. Closing in on 10 inches along the highest ridge tops. Another 3-5 inches for the lowlands. 

Heavy snow continues on the radar in the mountains & ski areas today. Elsewhere moderate snowfall continues, although not showing up on radar. Ya'll get home from your Superbowl parties safely tonight! Bundle up, cause it's gonna be cold with lows near 10°!

Nooo!! We're turning purple again! You know what that means...crank up the furnace. Throw another log on the fire. THINK about putting pants on! Single digit lows and wind chill numbers below zero are in store tonight. We'll stay dry undermainly clear skies. But increasing cloud cover early Saturday morning nearly guarantees that a certain groundhog will not see a his shadow! Snow showers surge into the area from west to east by mid morning Saturday. Heavy snow will create messy travel across much of the state by lunchtime, continuing into late morning on Sunday! Good weekend to stay home and pre-game for the BIG game!

Winter weather advisory from 10 AM Saturday until 10 Am Sunday for nearly every county in WV, except for the Eastern Panhandle! 3-6 inches of snow across much of the lowlands of WV with an additional couple inches in the mountains. At this point, who's counting?!
