...DISCUSSION...

DESPITE BEING BETWEEN LOW PRESSURE SYSTEMS TODAY...CLOUDS WILL AGAIN
DOMINATE...KEEPING TEMPERATURES FROM RECOVERING MUCH.  THE NEXT LOW
PRESSURE SYSTEM WILL MOVE QUICKLY THROUGH OUR AREA LATE TONIGHT.
RAIN WILL MOVE IN FROM THE SOUTHWEST THIS EVENING...WITH THE BULK OF
THE RAIN COMING IN A SHORT TIME OVERNIGHT.  A TOUCH OF FREEZING RAIN
IS POSSIBLE IN THE NORTHERN WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS...AND INTERIOR
SOUTHEAST OHIO.

THE RAIN WILL QUICKLY CHANGE TO SNOW SHOWERS ON SUNDAY...AS MUCH
COLDER AIR MOVES INTO THE REGION. THE SNOW SHOWERS MAY
ACCUMULATE...MAINLY IN THE MOUNTAINOUS COUNTIES OF WEST VIRGINIA
SUNDAY AFTERNOON AND SUNDAY NIGHT.

BY DAWN ON MONDAY...WE WILL ALL BE IN THE DEEP FREEZE.
THIS COLD WAVE STICKS AROUND...THROUGHOUT THE DAY ON MONDAY.

TEMPERATURES BEGIN TO MODERATE ON TUESDAY...AS SOUTHERLY WINDS
RETURN.

ANOTHER WET LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM COMES ACROSS ON WEDNESDAY. AT THIS
DISTANCE IN TIME...TEMPERATURES SHOULD BE WARM ENOUGH FOR MOSTLY RAIN.
