The Morgantown vicinity snowfall is forecast to totwl 1 to 3 to inches. Preston and Taylor Counties are projected to receive 4 to 6 inches of snow depending on the altitude.

There are no advisories, warnings or watches currently in effect for Morgantown or Monongalia County. Preston and Tucker Counties have either a Winter Weather Advisory or a Winter Weather Warning.

A cold upper low will dive down for the northern Great Lakes today and cross the region late this afternoon and during the evening. This low will bring snow showers, cold temperatures and gusty winds. The arctic air with the upper level system will also destabilize the atmosphere which will increase the risk for snow squalls.

Most of the area will see 1 to 3 inches. If a persistent snow band develops higher accumulations are likely. The heaviest snow will be in the ridges of northern West Virginia.

Gusty winds will cause blowing and drifting of snow as well. Temperatures will be falling today and will stay chilly through midweek.

If you will be traveling today or tonight, be prepared for winter driving conditions. Remember snow squalls can bring rapid changes to conditions, and quickly make driving very difficult and dangerous.
