Drizzle, fog, ice and thunder are all on the weather menu overnight.
FOG: Suspended atmospheric moisture in the lowest levels will limit visibility to less than one-half mile in many spots between Midnight and 7 a.m. Thursday.
THUNDER: The best chance to hear a few loud clasps of thunder is 3 a.m. to 3 p.m. Thursday.
ICE: While Lewisburg will only see a glaze on colder surfaces like railings and car windshields, one-quarter to one-third of an inch of ice is likely in Quinwood, Richwood, areas uphill of Rainelle, Marlinton and Snowshoe overnight. The ice will melt by midday Thursday as temperatures hit 50 degrees. A few hundred folks will lose power and a few small branches will come down in the ice overnight.
RAIN: The compilation of rain overnight and a final surge as a front pushes through Thursday will prompt standing water in poor drainage areas, but not to the extent that last Friday’s flooding produced widespread standing water. There will be just enough instability to produce one or two thunder rumbles within the rain between 11 a.m. and 4 p.m., but no severe weather is expected.
The active pattern will instigate rises on the Greenbrier River following Saturday’s rain and the early week storm. Should one of these storms overachieve on moisture, the river could experience minor flooding.
SNOW: A transition to a colder pattern next week will allow a storm Monday to produce snow that will change to sleet, freezing rain and rain on Tuesday. Snow amounts will likely range from 1 to 2 inches with a glaze of ice, except slightly higher amounts in the Greenbrier Valley. There is only limited upside risk for higher snowfall amounts.
