A weak cold front will pass through our hometown on Wednesday. Light, scattered showers are likely to move from west to east in the second half of the year Tuesday and linger Wednesday.

Scattered rain showers are possible Tuesday through Wednesday.(WDBJ Weather)

Late this week, a powerful cold front, driven by an intense low-pressure system, will move across the country. This powerful storm system will bring additional precipitation, mainly in the mountains, but MUCH colder air beyond.

Much colder air will move into the region towards the end of the week.(WDBJ Weather)

FIRST WARNING: A wintry mix of sleet and snow is possible at elevations above 3,500 feet, with light snow accumulations in places like the Greenbrier Valley and Snowshoe Mountain. Some of that activity could also have minor impacts on hometowns west of I-77. We’ll have a better idea of how this will shape up soon, so check back later!

We are keeping an eye on the possibility of a winter mix event on the slopes from Thursday to Friday.(WDBJ Weather)

While not everyone will experience a wintry mix, we expect widespread windy conditions on Thursday, Friday and Saturday. Gusts of 30 to 40 kilometers per hour may occur. With lows in the 30s, prepare for some bitterly cold wind chills on Friday and Saturday mornings!
