 .DISCUSSION...
 A cold front brings precipitation overnight into Sunday. The 
 precipitation could start as a wintry mix, but should quickly change 
 to rain for much of the area. For the eastern slopes of the West 
 Virginia mountains however, cold air could get trapped, leading to 
 freezing rain overnight into Sunday morning. 
 
 A high pressure system will briefly build in on Monday. 
 
 A mixed wintry precipitation event is then likely Monday night and 
 Tuesday, as the next low pressure system tracks mainly south and 
 east of the area in an active and chilly pattern.
