First snow of the season occurs with small warm-up into mid-week

It’s been a fairly cold day today across southern West Virginia. Rain in the northern area and northwest winds have made it feel much colder than it is. As we take a look at the next 7 days from the European rainfall forecast it looks like we are still expecting in between a quarter-inch and a half-inch of rain from this system. This is going to change over eventually into snow across the area. The Greenbrier Valley still looks to be on the lower end of rainfall and snowfall totals as the western facing slopes look to be receiving more.
