Charleston, WV – A significant winter storm is set to impact West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio, bringing heavy snow and hazardous travel conditions from late Monday night through Wednesday morning.
According to the National Weather Service in Charleston, total snow accumulations between 3 and 8 inches are possible across the region, with some areas also facing ice accumulation up to a quarter of an inch. The storm is expected to create slippery roads and difficult travel conditions, particularly for Tuesday’s morning and evening commutes.
The affected areas include northeast Kentucky, southeast Ohio, and much of central and eastern West Virginia, including Charleston, Huntington, Parkersburg, and Clarksburg. Higher elevations in Pocahontas and Randolph counties could see significant ice buildup.
