.DISCUSSION... 

Temperatures warm above freezing during the daytime and drop
back below freezing each night through Monday night. There is 
better consensus on the timing and precipitation types for the 
weekend system. Moderate rainfall is expected over the entire 
area, moving from west to east Saturday night through Monday 
morning. Some snow or light freezing drizzle could still mix in 
for higher elevation areas in southeast WV early Sunday morning.
Each day through Saturday, RH values in the afternoons drop to 20
to 30 percent over the Piedmont. Winds will be gusty at times, 
but will remain below 30 mph for most locations. Also, 10 hour
fuels look to remain in the 14 to 25 percent range through
Thursday at least.
