Discussion

Low pressure will track towards the coastal waters of Virginia/North Carolina later today and tonight and snow should overspread our area during the mid-to-late afternoon hours. The snow will continue through most of the night with accumulations on the order of 2-5 inches (higher amounts generally to the south and lower amounts to the north). A quick follow-up storm system will bring more wintry precipitation to the region later tomorrow and Wednesday night including snow, sleet and freezing rain before a changeover to plain rain early Thursday.
