 .DISCUSSION...
 Arctic high pressure will maintain frigid weather overnight into 
 Monday morning, with temperatures in the single digits either side 
 of zero for much of the area, with teens and single digits more 
 common down along the Tug Fork and over in the Huntington Tri-state 
 area.
 
 A significant warm-up is forecast for the start of the new work 
 week. A cold front could bring rain showers Tuesday night into early 
 Wednesday, followed by slightly below normal temperatures and dry 
 weather through Thursday, although these temperatures will still be 
 a significant departure from the well-below normal temperatures of 
 the past three weeks.
 
 Systems could then bring rain and snow later in the week, as 
 temperatures return to near normal.
 
 This weather pattern should promote an orderly melt of the snowpack 
 through the week.
