 .DISCUSSION...
 Snow showers with intermittent sleet and freezing rain will continue 
 to impact portions of northern West Virginia, southeast Ohio, and 
 northeast Kentucky through the mid afternoon. In the higher 
 elevations of the northeast West Virginia mountains, wintry 
 precipitation will continue through Tuesday morning, creating 
 hazardous travel conditions.
 
 Rounds of rain are then expected for the span of the week. A warming 
 trend will also commence Tuesday and into the weekend. Will have to 
 monitor for potential flooding later this week given repeated 
 rainfall and snow melt across the mountains.
