 .DISCUSSION...
 Mainly dry and seasonable conditions are expected through Saturday. 
 Continue to exercise caution when traveling overnight or in the 
 morning as any remaining snow melting during the day may refreeze as 
 black ice.
 
 A system passing to our south will bring rain to the region on 
 Sunday. The heaviest rain, up to 1 inch, is expected across the 
 southern coalfields and mountains, while areas farther north will 
 see very little rainfall accumulation. A brief period of freezing 
 rain is also possible in the Greenbrier Valley and eastern mountain 
 slopes in weak cold air damming Sunday morning before transitioning 
 to all rain.
 
 Dry weather returns Monday amidst a warming trend with temperatures 
 across the lower elevations potentially touching 70 by Wednesday.
