BUCKHANNON — Warm weather Wednesday will quickly transition into winter again overnight, with up to four inches of snow possible Thursday.

The National Weather Service in Charleston issued a Winter Weather Advisory for much of West Virginia that runs from 10 p.m. Wednesday through midnight Thursday.

“Snow expected,” the NWS advises. “Total snow accumulations of 2 to 4 inches.”

The transition to colder weather overnight could make travel hazardous Thursday, when the high temperature is expected to peak at just 37 degrees.

“Plan on slippery road conditions,” the NWS warns. “The hazardous conditions could impact the morning or evening commute. Slow down and use caution while traveling.”

Flurries could linger into Friday, and temperatures are forecast to rise into the mid-40s over the weekend.
