Special Weather Statement issued January 17 at 2:07AM EST by NWS Charleston WV

Effective: Sat January 17, 2026, 2:07 AM
Expires: Sat January 17, 2026, 8:00 AM

An approaching cold front was bringing precipitation across the area early this morning. A mix of snow and rain will transition over to all snow in some areas. However, temperatures will struggle to drop to freezing, making it difficult for snow to stick. Some locations will see little or no accumulation, but a slushy inch or so possible in other locations, resulting in a few slick spots, especially on bridges and overpasses. Be prepared for slick spots on untreated roads early this morning, particularly on bridges and overpasses. Please allow extra time to reach your destination.
