 .DISCUSSION...
 Chilly but drier as high pressure builds over the area today into 
 Friday. Temperatures will moderate during the weekend, with many 
 locations outside of the mountains rising above freezing during the 
 daytime. This will cause a lot of our remaining snow and river ice 
 to melt away across the lower elevations. 
 
 A system is expected to bring mainly rain to the area late Saturday 
 into Sunday, with a wintry mix possible for the higher elevations of 
 the northeast mountains. Highest rain amounts are expected to occur 
 in southwest VA and southeast WV. Some flooding could be possible in 
 that area due to a combination of rain and earlier snowmelt.
