Ashley Smith's Outlook from the Storm Team Weather Center
More Snow Tonight.. Mainly Eastâ¦
**A Winter Storm Warning is in effect for Nicholas, Webster, Greenbrier, Pocahontas and Randolph counties, and a Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for the central and eastern part of the region until 7 AM Sunday**
Thereâs no question itâs winter just looking outside. But if you actually venture into the cold.. Ouch! Not only are temperatures in the low 20âs, teens, and even single digits, but very strong winds are making it feel like itâs in the single digits! Weâve measured a couple inches west of Charleston and over 6â in the mountains. Winds were clocked at 38mph in Charleston today and 33mph in Huntington. Weâre not the only ones experiencing this rare shot of winter this season. The entire eastern third of the nation is included in this deep chill with cities in Florida only expected to reach the 20âs tomorrow! But it has really been a shock to everyoneâs system because we havenât had to deal with this a whole lot this winter. This cold, blustery, and sometimes snowy weather will continue this evening and even Sunday morning in some parts. The cold front has pushed east but our northwesterly flow is holding strong which will bring plenty of moisture and cold to produce snow intermittently through the night. Additional snowfall will be low.. Probably just a dusting west of Charleston and up to 6â in the mountains. We are still under the Winter Weather Advisory through 7AM Sunday and a Winter Storm Warning for Pocahontas, Randolph, Nicholas, Webster, and Greenbrier counties. Roads will remain slick in spots, especially on bridges, overpasses, and all secondary roads. Even the highways could be icy because our overnight low will fall to around 12 in Charleston and well down to the single digits in the mountains. Adding to the dangerous travel conditions are the high winds. They could cause blowing and drifting snow at times. Be careful if you are going to be driving anywhere and slow down. Snow should come to an end by noon in the valleys and toward the late afternoon hours in the mountains. Sunday will still be blustery and cold with a high around 32. We should see some sunshine toward the afternoon for everyone.
Monday is more mild with temperatures in the mid 40âs under partly sunny skies. High pressure doesnât last long though. Rain and even some snow is possible Tuesday. A weak system will move in from the south bringing precipitation to the area beginning late Monday night and through Tuesday. The daytime high will climb to 44 Tuesday but early in the morning some of that precipitation could fall as snow. This could make for some messy travel again Tuesday morning.
Dry weather returns briefly Wednesday with mostly cloudy skies and a high around 47. A few showers are again likely Thursday and Friday. The timing of this system is vague at this time but temperatures will be in the 50âs both days so itâs a safe bet that this will be an all-rain event. It does look like dry weather returns Saturday with a high right around normal for this year at 46.
