EVENING WEATHER SUMMARY FOR THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS AND MIDDLE OHIO 
VALLEY
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE CHARLESTON WV
1000 PM EST WED NOV 23 2005

WARMER AIR HAS ARRIVED THROUGH MUCH OF THE REGION...AND TEMPERATURES 
NOW ARE IN THE LOW 30S IN THE HIGHLANDS TO UPPER 30S AND LOWER 40S 
IN THE LOWLANDS AND CITIES. LIGHT SNOW SHOWERS OR FLURRIES ARE 
CONFINED TO THE NORTH AND NORTHEAST...AND WITH READINGS NEAR OR 
ABOVE FREEZING...WILL NOT CAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL ROAD PROBLEMS. ABOUT 
A HALF INCH TO AT MOST 2 INCHES OF SNOW WAS REPORTED FROM THIS 
AFTERNOONS EVENT...WITH SOMEWHAT MORE IN THE HIGHER TERRAIN.

ACROSS THE UNITED STATES...A LOW PRESSURE MOVING THROUGH THE GREAT 
LAKES IS PUSHING A WARM FRONT THROUGH THE OHIO VALLEY. THE COLD 
FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS SYSTEM IS MOVING THROUGH THE UPPER 
MIDWEST. HIGH PRESSURE IS PROVIDING A TRANQUIL HOLIDAY IN THE WEST.

AS A COLD FRONT MOVES THROUGH EARLY ON THANKSGIVING...EXPECT SOME 
RAIN AND SNOW SHOWERS TO BREAK OUT ONCE AGAIN. SNOW SHOWERS WILL BE 
MORE NUMEROUS IN THE MOUNTAINS WITH A FEW INCHES OF SNOW POSSIBLE 
THERE. WINDS WILL ALSO INCREASE...WITH SOME COMMUNITIES GUSTING TO 
30 MPH AT TIMES THURSDAY AFTERNOON. AFTER A BITTER COLD START IN THE 
TEENS ON FRIDAY...THE BIGGEST SHOPPING DAY OF THE YEAR WILL STRUGGLE 
TO REACH THE MIDDLE 20S AND LOWER 30S..ALTHOUGH SOME SUNSHINE IS 
EXPECTED.
 
THROUGH THE WEEKEND AND EARLY NEXT WEEK...HIGH PRESSURE WILL MOVE 
OFF THE EAST COAST...AND ALLOW SOUTHERLY WINDS TO DELIVER WARMER 
AIR. BY SUNDAY...TEMPERATURES WILL TOP OUT IN THE UPPER 40S AND 
LOWER 50S...BY MONDAY AND TUESDAY WE CAN EXPECT 60S ONCE AGAIN. AT 
THIS POINT THE BEST CHANCE FOR RAIN SHOWERS LOOKS TO BE TUESDAY 
NIGHT INTO WEDNESDAY MORNING.
