CHARLESTON – Due to developing weather patterns suggesting a significant winter storm event followed by dangerous wind chills and other adverse weather, Gov. Patrick Morrisey has issued a state of preparedness for all 55 counties in West Virginia through Friday.
The National Weather Service has warned stream levels and expected rains may cause localized flooding and ice issues in the northern part of the state. Another storm is expected to arrive this weekend with heavy rain, snow, and some ice – with the possibility of heavy snowfall in various areas throughout the state. Morrisey and the West Virginia Emergency Management Division ask all West Virginians to remain attentive to weather conditions through local media reports and follow any instructions issued by emergency officials.
