OAK HILL, WV (WOAY) – Some light snow is falling around the region this late evening, but the other big story continues to be the patchy dense fog that has developed in some parts of the area. With temperatures and dewpoints basically the same, and with plenty of moisture around thanks to the snow that has fallen, visibilities are cut down in many areas, some due to the snow that is currently falling.
They stay that way through at least this evening and into the overnight before the fog lifts. As for the snow, it will stick around as well, but any additional accumulations should be light.
Tomorrow, the sun will break out, and the temperatures will drop from the 30s that we’ve seen over the past couple of days into the upper 20s as this first system leaves some colder air in its wake.
Tonight’s storm is one of two that we’ll be tracking over the next few days. The second one is a strong low-pressure center that will pass to our north later this week. This storm will give us some more accumulating snow; how much is still a bit of a question mark. The answers lie in the length of time that we’ll see the snow and the amount of moisture that the storm will be able to draw in from the Gulf and Atlantic. But one thing is for sure. It will definitely be snowing on Friday and into Saturday. Some of the snow may be heavy at times.
Late Friday and into Saturday, banding will set up with a northwesterly flow to enhance the snow that falls in some places, especially in the northern and northeastern parts of the area.
There is a good possibility that the snow from this next storm will be greater than what we’re seeing with this current storm. That’s what we’re thinking at this moment.
Once the second storm is gone, the cold air is back, but not for long. After a chilly weekend, temperatures rise into the seasonable range on Monday and will be above the normal for the first time in nearly three weeks by Tuesday. At the end of the forecast, we’ll see another storm come into the region, but with the warmer temperatures, the precipitation will fall as rain, not snow.
