Advisory calls for snow, ice overnight

CHARLESTON – A Winter Weather Advisory with varying levels of snow and ice accumulation has been issued for the local region and most of West Virginia, as another winter storm is scheduled to hit the U.S.

The National Weather Service stations in Charleston and Pittsburgh issued the advisory for 45 counties in the state, including Randolph, Upshur, Barbour, Tucker and Pocahontas counties.

The advisory will remain in effect from 11 p.m. tonight to 1 p.m. Tuesday in Randolph, Upshur, Barbour and Pocahontas counties. The area is expected to receive mixed precipitation with a total snow accumulation up to two inches and ice accumulations around one-tenth of an inch.

Tucker County is expected to also receive mixed precipitation starting at midnight and continuing until 1 p.m. Tuesday. The area is expected to receive a total snow accumulation of up to three inches, the National Weather Service reports. Ice accumulation is expected to rise from a “light glaze to around one-tenth of an inch.”

The National Weather Service says residents in areas under the advisory should plan on slippery road conditions as the hazardous conditions could impact Tuesday’s morning commute.

Multiple states throughout the country are also under the advisory, including Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Ohio and Maryland. Parts of New England are under a Winter Storm Watch, according to the NWS.

The National Weather Service station in Pittsburgh asks that area residents please report snow or ice accumulations by calling 412-262-1988, posting to the NWS Pittsburgh Facebook page or using X @NWSPittsburgh.
