Discussion

Low pressure will slide by to our south today and produce accumulating snow across much of central and southern Virginia. In fact, some of the snow can make it as far north as the DC metro region; especially, into those areas on the south and west sides of DC so watch out for possible slick spots and small accumulations later this morning. The week will start off with far below-normal temperatures following the passage of a strong cold front on Sunday night and temperatures later tonight will drop to their lowest levels so far this season. Some moderation in temperatures will come by the middle of the week as a low pressure system passes by to our north, and then a “clipper” system could produce some snow and/or rain around here later in the week.
