TO REACH THE FREEZING MARK IN MANY LOCATIONS...WITH LOW TEMPERATURES
EACH NIGHT EXPECTED TO BE IN THE TEENS IF NOT THE SINGLE DIGITS ON
SUNDAY MORNING. BRISK NORTHWEST WINDS ON SATURDAY WILL LIKELY SEND
WIND CHILLS TO NEAR ZERO AT TIMES.
ALONG WITH THE COLD...SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE POSSIBLE FROM TIME TO
TIME THROUGH THE PERIOD. THE BEST CHANCE FOR SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE
ON SATURDAY WHEN SOME LIGHT FLUFFY ACCUMULATIONS ARE POSSIBLE...
ESPECIALLY NEAR THE VA AND WV BORDERS.
