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-day or early afternoon hours…it can become heavy at times later in the afternoon and early this evening. The snow wind down late tonight with final accumulations on the order of 4-7 inches and there should be isolated higher amounts. A quick follow-up storm system will bring more wintry precipitation to the region later tomorrow before an ultimate changeover to plain rain by later tomorrow night.
