On Monday, lingering snow showers, especially in the mountains, will continue with minor additional accumulations. Highs will be frigid, only reaching the teens to low 20s, accompanied by strong northwest winds creating hazardous wind chills. Monday night will be brutally cold as an arctic front settles in, with actual temperatures dropping to between -8°F in the mountains and 4°F in the central regions, and wind chills reaching -15°F to -30°F. Tuesday will be sunny but remain dangerously cold, with highs struggling to climb out of the teens and low 20s. The middle of the forecast period, from Wednesday through Saturday, will be characterized by persistent and deep cold. Temperatures are expected to remain well below average, with daily highs mostly in the teens to low 20s and overnight lows consistently in the single digits to below zero. A fast-moving clipper system is expected to pass through the region Wednesday night into Thursday, bringing a moderate chance for a period of light snow across the state, with the highest chances and potential for minor accumulations again favoring the mountain ridges. Confidence in this system is moderate. Friday and Saturday will see a mix of sun and clouds but no relief from the cold, with another slight chance for snow showers developing over the weekend, though confidence is lower. The long-range outlook from next Sunday through Tuesday suggests the arctic regime will maintain its grip on West Virginia. There are no signs of a significant pattern change or warm-up. Temperatures are forecast to remain 15-25 degrees below normal for this time of year, with highs likely confined to the 20s and lows in the single digits. The general weather pattern will favor occasional weak disturbances moving through the cold air, bringing continued slight chances for light snow or flurries, rather than any organized, major storm systems.

Have a great night! Matthew Cowger

Stay safe & warm everyone ❄️

The primary window for thundersnow activity will be from approximately 8 PM Saturday evening through 10 AM Sunday morning. The peak intensity, with the highest likelihood of experiencing thundersnow, is expected between 11 PM Saturday and 5 AM Sunday. Any thundersnow events will be intermittent and localized, likely occurring in short, intense bursts lasting 30 to 60 minutes within the broader snowstorm. The potential for thundersnow varies across the state, peaking in the central mountain corridors. In the Metro Valley, including Charleston, Huntington, South Charleston, Dunbar, Nitro, and Hurricane, the probability is high, around 50%, as this area will be near the dynamic transition zone between snow and mixed precipitation. The northern regions, including Wheeling, Weirton, Parkersburg, Vienna, Morgantown, Fairmont, Clarksburg, and Bridgeport, have a 45% probability, with intense snowfall rates being the primary driver. In the southern coalfields and mountains, cities like Beckley, Bluefield, Oak Hill, Princeton, Summersville, and Lewisburg have a 40% chance, highest on Saturday night before a quicker changeover to sleet and freezing rain may stabilize the column. The Eastern Panhandle and Potomac Highlands, including Martinsburg, Keyser, Romney, Moorefield, Franklin, and Petersburg, have a 35% chance; while snowfall will be tremendous, the core of the atmospheric instability may remain just to the west.
