Snow amounts up to half an inch are mostly expected, but could see isolated higher swaths from any heavier snow showers or squalls.

Special Weather Statement issued February 22 at 6:04AM EST by NWS Charleston WV

Summary: Light snow accumulations are expected at times from this afternoon through Monday morning from rounds of snow showers. Wind gusts as high as 30 mph could occur in the heavier snow showers. The combination of falling snow and strong wind gusts may produce sudden sharp visibility reductions and quick light snow accumulations, especially during the daytime hours today and Monday. Most the area will see accumulations of around an inch or less. However, locally higher amounts are possible in areas where heavier snow bands develop this afternoon into early this evening. Roadways may become slick as a result. If traveling, be alert, slow down and allow extra time to reach your destination.
