CLARKSBURG, W.Va. (WBOY) — More snow is in the forecast for north central West Virginia. After near nonstop winter weather throughout the month of January so far, it’s not slowing down yet. According to the National Weather Service , another snow system will move into north central West Virginia Thursday morning. The NWS predicts that 6-10 inches of snowfall are possible in mountain counties, including Upshur, Barbour, Webster, Randolph, Preston and Tucker. Those counties are under a Winter Storm Watch from Thursday morning until Friday morning. Lowland areas of north central West Virginia will see around 1-3 inches of snow, which could affect Thursday morning and evening commutes, according to the NWS. The Cold Weather Warning in Randolph and Pocahontas counties will expire at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, but frigid temperatures could stick around in the mountains through Thursday morning; wind chills could reach as low as -15 degrees. Temperatures are expected to heat up a bit on Saturday, and some of the piling-up snow West Virginia has gotten over the past few weeks might melt. However, there is a chance of even more snow and extreme cold next week starting on Sunday.
