HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
457 AM EST SAT FEB 13 2016

A WINTER STORM IS EXPECTED TO MOVE INTO THE AREA IN THE SUNDAY
EVENING THROUGH TUESDAY TIME FRAME. ALTHOUGH THE PATH...
PRECIPITATION TYPE...AND FORECAST SNOW AMOUNTS REMAIN UNCERTAIN
AT THIS TIME...WINTER WEATHER HEADLINES MAY BE NECESSARY
FOR SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS.

IN ADDITION...WITH THE HIGH MOISTURE CONTENT OF THE SYSTEM...
AREA CREEKS AND STREAMS...AND EVEN MAIN STEM RIVERS COULD
SEE SIGNIFICANT RISES EARLY NEXT WEEK.

...DISCUSSION...

AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM WILL PASS TODAY...BRINGING LIGHT SNOW FOR
SOUTHWEST VIRGINIA AND THE WEST VIRGINIA MOUNTAINS. AN ARCTIC FRONT
WILL CROSS THIS EVENING BRINGING SNOW SHOWERS...ALONG WITH GUSTY WINDS
AND PLUMMETING TEMPERATURES.  WE WILL BE IN THE DEEP FREEZE THIS
WEEKEND AS ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE CROSSES SUNDAY MORNING. TEMPERATURES
SATURDAY WILL NOT CLIMB OUT OF THE TEENS FOR THE LOWLANDS...AND SINGLE
DIGITS FOR MUCH OF THE MOUNTAINS...WITH A BITING WIND.  SUNDAY WILL
BRING LESS WIND AND SLIGHTLY HIGHER TEMPERATURES. BIGGEST CONCERN IS
AN APPROACHING SYSTEM THAT BRINGS POTENTIAL FOR MODERATE SNOW SUNDAY
INTO EARLY NEXT WEEK. DEPENDING ON THE TRACK...SNOWFALL
ACCUMULATIONS...AND EVEN PRECIPITATION TYPE COULD VARY AT TIMES.
