Cold front pushing rain into the area

A new cold front is pushing a band of precipitation ahead of it. Temperatures in the Roanoke area have warmed enough that what falls will almost certainly be rain, but there is a good indication that much of this rain will dry up crossing the mountains and we'll only get light amounts. Further northwest, in the mountains of West Virginia, yet more snow is expected, maybe a few inches. This cold front will bring a brief reinforcement to the cold air on Saturday, but a warming trend will take hold Sunday and Monday.
Yes, there is a much bigger show on the horizon Tuesday and Wednesday, possibly one of the most powerful low pressure systems to move near or through our regions in years. A lot remains to be seen on the details, but for now, it definitely looks more like a rain maker than anything wintry. I'll be taking a closer look at this over the weekend.
