Special Weather Statement issued February 8 at 8:04PM EST by NWS Charleston WV

Effective: Sun February 8, 2026, 8:04 PM
Expires: Mon February 9, 2026, 8:15 AM

High pressure with clear, calm conditions atop the snowpack provide the perfect mid-winter setup for a frigid night and early Monday morning. Temperatures will bottom out in the single digits, single digits below zero in the normally colder low spots away from rivers, even isolated double digit lows below zero in the normally coldest sheltered mountain valleys, particularly for northern portions of Randolph and Pocahontas counties. Even with little or no wind, these low temperatures can lead to frostbite in as little as 30 minutes on exposed skin, as well as hypothermia. Bundle up if you must venture outside anytime tonight through early Monday morning, including the morning commute and bus run. If traveling, be prepared in case of a breakdown.

The times presented here are based upon the solunar theory, which is the idea that the movements of fish and other animals are affected by the location of the sun and moon. The major periods are believed to be the times of the greatest animal activity and occur when the moon is directly overhead or underfoot (lunar transits). The minor periods also see increased activity and occur when the moon is rising or setting. The strongest activity occurs during full or new moons, and the weakest during quarter or three quarter moons. This is indicated by the Action Rating.
