West Virginia's climate is heavily influenced by its mountainous terrain, making it one of the most topographically complex states east of the Mississippi. Nicknamed the Mountain State, its entire territory lies within the Appalachian region, with elevations ranging from 240 feet along the Potomac River to 4,863 feet at Spruce Knob. This elevation range creates dramatic temperature and precipitation differences across relatively short distances.
