As of 115 PM Tuesday...

A high pressure system will move off to the east as a cold front approaches from the west tonight.

A cold front will move across the area on Wednesday. Some rain can be expected in advance of the front for most areas, while higher elevations of the West Virginia mountains will see snow.
With the strong winds and snow, a Blizzard Warning has been issued for the higher elevations of the northern West Virginia mountains starting at 10 AM Wednesday. There could be a break from blizzard conditions Wednesday afternoon.

Colder air behind the cold front will cause an upslope snow event from late Wednesday into Thursday.

These conditions should continue into Thursday morning, when the upslope snow begins to taper off.

A strong clipper will effect the area Thursday night into Friday, providing wintry weather. This system has the potential to create a messy commute for Friday morning.
