Charleston, WV – Residents across West Virginia are waking up to continued winter storm conditions as a warning remains in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday morning. Heavy snow, with accumulations of up to one inch, and wind gusts reaching 40 mph are creating hazardous travel conditions.

According to the National Weather Service, the warning affects portions of northeast, northern, and southeast West Virginia, including cities like Charleston, Beckley, and Elkins. Motorists should expect slippery roads and reduced visibility, particularly on major highways like I-64. Travelers are urged to pack emergency supplies, including food, water, and flashlights, and to check road conditions via 511 before venturing out.

The forecast shows a brief respite Tuesday afternoon with flurries tapering off, though cold temperatures persist. Highs are expected to reach 24°F, with lows plunging to 14°F overnight. Snow chances return Wednesday morning, with a 30% likelihood of showers between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. Winds will remain light but could exacerbate the cold with wind chills dipping into single digits.

Looking ahead, Thursday will be partly sunny, providing some relief before snow reappears Friday evening. The weekend forecast predicts a mix of snow showers and cloudy skies, with temperatures remaining below freezing.

Residents should take precautions to stay warm and avoid unnecessary travel during hazardous periods. Stay informed by following local weather updates online and on social media.
