A cold day will happen today, and snow will start to make its way into the region tonight into tomorrow morning. Snow could start to make its way into parts of Nicholas and Pocahontas counties around 9PM Wednesday. Although, most of the region should be snow free until around midnight, early Thursday morning. Widespread accumulating snow look to welcome us to 2026!
1-3 inches are possible for parts of Wyoming and Mercer counties. 3-5 inches seem most likely for a lot of our area, from Raleigh up into Pocahontas counties. It gets tricky up into parts of Greenbrier, Western Pocahontas and Nicholas counties as that pink area could receive 5-8 inches of snow or more. Locally higher amounts will be possible with this system as heavy banding does appear to set up across some areas. Parts of extreme Western Pocahontas county could see 8-12 inches as snowshoe could also approach a foot of snow through Thursday morning. Most of this snow moves out of the region by 10 AM Thursday
Looking at that 7 day forecast, with the snow coming through tonight into Thursday, we seem to get in some type of warm up heading into the weekend as the 40’s will be back! Saturday could be rainy for some of the area, as models show a storm system moving through, but they have been very inconsistent on exactly where the storm will track. Due to the inconsistencies, I will not add a rain chance for Saturday, but it is something we are continuing to monitor. Once we head into early next week though, temperatures approaching 50 look to be possible!
