Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected today with an approaching cold front. Gusty winds are possible in some of the storms. Rain will change to snow tonight behind the front.

We have replaced the Winter Storm Watch that was in effect for a portion of the West Virginia ridges with a Winter Storm Warning, in effect from 1 AM Wednesday through 4 AM Thursday. We will take a look at the latest data later today for any possible advisories, etc, for the remainder of the ridges.

Another concern for today is the development of thunderstorms, and a potential for damaging winds. An initial rain band is expected to lift NE across North Central West Virginia from late morning through early this afternoon. Any organized storm could produce gusty wind.
