 A weak wave crosses today, bringing light snow midday and early this 
 afternoon. The snow will transition to rain across southern and 
 central West Virginia, northeast Kentucky and southwest Virginia 
 this afternoon. Farther north, and over the southern and central 
 mountains, there could be a wintry mix including light freezing rain.
 
 Precipitation will transition to drizzle and freezing drizzle 
 tonight, from west to east, as the wave exits.
