...SYNOPSIS...

A WEAK FRONT WILL REMAIN JUST SOUTH OF WEST VIRGINIA THROUGH
TONIGHT.  A WEAK WAVE OF LOW PRESSURE RIDING EAST ALONG THIS
FRONT...WILL MOVE OUT THIS MORNING...TAKING THE SPOTTY LIGHT SNOW
AND DRIZZLE WITH IT.  THE FRONT WILL CAUSE A LARGE TEMPERATURE
DIFFERENCE FROM NORTH TO SOUTH TODAY...BUT MOST PLACES SHOULD
END UP A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN YESTERDAY.

DRIZZLE AND FREEZING DRIZZLE IS LIKELY IN THE GREENBRIER VALLEY
AND SOUTHEAST FACING SLOPES IN THE EASTERN MOUNTAIN COUNTIES OF
WEST VIRGINIA LATE TONIGHT AND EARLY MONDAY.

A STRONGER STORM SYSTEM APPROACHES TUESDAY INTO TUESDAY NIGHT...
CREATING MORE WIDESPREAD PRECIPITATION.  THIS WILL PRODUCE A
WINTRY MIX MONDAY NIGHT AND EARLY TUESDAY...BEFORE SWITCHING TO ALL
RAIN LATER IN THE DAY TUESDAY. SNOW WILL THEN FOLLOW FOR WEDNESDAY
NIGHT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE LOW.
