Yep, it's still cold outside with highs struggling to break the freezing point this afternoon. Cloud cover thickening ahead of the next frontal system bringing mainly snow for the northern counties and a rain/snow mix for the southern part of the state as we ring in the new year. Winds ahead of this system will turn breezy with gusts to 25 MPH across north central WV at times this evening and overnight. Chilly and a bit breezy overnight with snow showers and lows near 30. We'll keep periods of snow for Tuesday with highs in the low 30s. Light snow flurries still possible Tuesday night with lows falling into the upper teens! Gradually clearing sky conditions will bring sunshine during the day on Wednesday. Will continue to see occasional blasts of cold air sinking south into our area for the second half next this week. Highs will pretty much stay below freezing and lows will dip into the teens and twenties into the first weekend of the new year. 

Cold tonight with lows into the mid 20s. Occasional snow flurries are still possible this evening and overnight, especially in the higher elevations. Minor accumulations of an inch or less are expected in the lowlands with an additional couple of inches of snow in the mountains. Lingering snow flurries still hang out in the mountains into late Sunday morning. Then high pressure will provide mainly clear skies for Sunday afternoon and evening. But temperatures will stay below freezing with highs only cresting in the low 30s. Next weather system threatens the forecast area with more mixed precip on Monday night/Tuesday.

Mainly snow poppin up in the radar with some drizzle further south. Plenty of locations are below freezing already.  Take it easy if you're heading out in the morning.

Not a bad day today. Mainly cloudy with some patches of blue sky this afternoon. Temps are still on the cool side with highs in the mid 30s. Next weather disturbance will lift north into the area to bring rain changing to snow tonight into Saturday morning. Precip will change back to a wintry mix during the day on Saturday, ending as snow on Sunday morning. Here's a look at the snowfall forecast into Sunday morning. 1-3 inches in the lowlands. 3-6" higher up. There's also a winter weather advisory for a large portion of the Mountain State @ 1 AM Saturday. Will post more later today.

Rain still scooting across our forecast area, making for a soggy evening. Winds turning from the northwest along with lots of cold air will drop temperatures below freezing, producing snow tonight around midnight. Any water leftover on sidewalks & roadways will freeze overnight. So some ICY roadways are possible Friday morning. Periods of sustained winds at 20-30 MPH and gusts to 60 MPH are also possible, especially along our highest ridge tops. These conditions will combine with blowing snow to reduce visibility, making traveling treacherous, especially Friday night/Saturday morning. Due to the strong winds, power outages are also possible during this time. So be prepared with non-perishable foods and alternate heat sources. 3-5 inches of snow are expected across much of lowland WV and 8-16 inches are possible in our mountain counties. The National Weather Service has issued several weather warnings for our area, including a blizzard warning in red, a winter storm warning in pink, a winter weather advisory in purple, high wind warnings in that mustard color and a wind advisory in tan.
