WIND ADVISORY for Bland, Giles, Monroe and eastern Greenbrier counties until 9 PM and for northwestern Pocahontas County until 2 PM Wednesday. West winds of 20-30 mph with gusts up to 50 mph could result in a few power outages.
Tonight continues the breezy conditions that we experienced during the day today. A northwest flow will enable a feed off the Great Lakes, with rain and snow showers likely. Temperatures will dip back into the mid 30s, with low 30s expected in the high country. A light coating of snow is expected across the high-country above 3,500 feet in portions of western Greenbrier and western Pocahontas counties, where up to an inch of snow accumulation is expected, so don't be surprised to see a skiff of snow in places like Dawson, Duo, Snowshoe or Clearco by dawn tomorrow morning! Elsewhere, it's a gross overnight with wind chill values dipping back into the teens briefly at times with gusts up to 40 mph and temperatures dropping into the 30s.
Wednesday sees high pressure make a return, providing plenty of sunshine to the two Virginias after a cloudy start. Despite the sunshine, a westerly wind will keep temperatures below normal for highs as we struggle to reach 50 degrees.
Thursday will be a warmer day, as the aforementioned high pressure system scoots off to our east slowly but surely during the afternoon, enabling our high temperatures to return close to normal for this time of year with highs in the low 60s.
Good Friday is going to be a warm one! High pressure will move off of the North Carolina coast and allow a direct southerly flow to warm us up nicely – all the way up into the upper 70s! Our western towns in McDowell and Wyoming counties should not have any issue reaching 80 degrees with plenty of sunshine expected.
Saturday sees a few clouds filter in with an approaching cold front, but it will stall along the Ohio River as a result of a strong area of high pressure off of the Atlantic coast. That works in our favor for Saturday and Easter Sunday with sunshine expected. High temperatures on Saturday will be near 80 once again!
List: What stores, restaurants will close for Easter 2025?
Easter Sunday provides the risk for a few showers in the evening as our front begins to encroach on the region with our high pressure system off the Atlantic weakening. Temperatures will be very warm with highs once again near 80 degrees. Showers will be likely – along with the risk for a storm or two – during the overnight with a front crossing.
Monday brings the return for scattered showers in the morning with our cold front crossing. The air mass behind this system is not much colder, and we will see skies begin to clear by the afternoon. High temperatures will dip back into the 60s.
Why is Easter hardly on the same Sunday?
Tuesday provides plenty of sunshine with high pressure in control with highs jumping back up into the mid to upper 60s.
Looking ahead in your extended forecast, there are no signs of any last gasps from Old Man Winter – it looks very warm! High temperatures near 70 degrees with a few spring showers are going to be the norm ahead.
