Snowy start to the week expected in parts of West Virginia

CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Snow from Sunday into Monday in parts of West Virginia was coming courtesy of a clipper system that was expected to transition into a stronger Nor’easter by Tuesday as it moved up into the Northeast, according to meteorologists with the National Weather Service.

The storm was expected to pass through northern West Virginia and the Eastern Panhandle beginning Sunday afternoon and continuing into Monday morning.
