Weather

An approaching cold front today will produce some underdeveloped snow for the ski areas in the region. Temperatures ahead of the front will be cool, rising to the low 40’s at some of the resorts. The frontal system is fairly weak, and high pressure will quickly build over the region by tomorrow. However, the chance of snow showers does exist tonight with the passage of the front. Accumulations of around an inch are possible for the ski resorts, with the West Virginia resorts possibly seeing a little more. Our next system of interest will arrive later in the day on Thursday.
