Snow showers tonight and frigid air returning to the Mid-Ohio Valley

PARKERSBURG, W.Va. (WTAP) – Snow showers will filter into the Mid-Ohio Valley tonight as a blast of cold air sweeps through the region Wednesday evening. A transition to scattered snow showers is expected to happen between 6-8 p.m. tonight, but little-to-no accumulation is expected from these snow showers. Slick road conditions however are possible Thursday morning.
More snow showers are possible around the weekend
Thursday will remain on the dry side, but it will be much colder with temperatures in the mid-20s. Apart from Friday-Saturday, highs in the 20s and lows in the teens will remain through next Tuesday.
Friday and Saturday, we have the potential for more snow showers to pass through the Mid-Ohio Valley. While most of Friday should stay on the dry side, snow showers look to start moving in Friday night, lasting into Saturday morning. Accumulation from this system looks likely, but still limited. We’re only looking at around 1″ of snow for the moment, but some areas could see closer to 2″, primarily on the West Virginia side of the Ohio River.
After the snow moves out, frigid temperatures resume, lasting well into next week, before what looks like a brief warm-up above freezing Wednesday.
