Aside from the snow, temperatures will drop low enough to cause hypothermia and frostbite within 30 minutes over the next few days.
COLD ALERTS
OVERNIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY: Wind chills in western Pocahontas and western Greenbrier County will drop to -11 to -15 degrees through mid-morning Wednesday, prompting Cold Weather Advisories.
Wednesday Night into Thursday Morning: We anticipate that new Cold Weather Advisories will be issued for the same counties on Wednesday night and Thursday morning, with an expansion into eastern Nicholas, eastern Fayette, and eastern Raleigh County as the wind chill drops to -5 degrees.
Friday morning will be the coldest in the region, with clear skies and a light wind. At daybreak, temperatures will range from -5 degrees in the Greenbrier Valley to 4 degrees above zero across the rest of the region. Cold weather advisories are likely east of Route 19.
SNOW: Another half inch of snow is expected west of Lewisburg overnight, followed by two systems, one late Wednesday and another Friday evening into Saturday, that will bring accumulating snow. Each of these systems is expected to produce the following snow totals.
Winter weather advisories will be expanded from where they are currently in effect (Pocahontas, Nicholas, and western Greenbrier County) to the Route 19 corridor with the Wednesday night/early Thursday event, and will most likely be issued for the entire region for the Friday night/early Saturday storm.
