This evening's update doesn't really have any new information. The forecast is pretty much on track. The air over us is very dry and it will take some time to moisten up as a fast moving Alberta Clipper approaches the area. I expect the clouds to roll in and thicken up overnight. Some snow flurries or showers are possible to the northwest of Richmond by morning. As the system tracks across the Commonwealth, I expect a mix of rain and snow showers, as our low level temperatures will warm up during the daylight hours. So while we may see the first flakes of the season, it won't be a big deal. As I've been saying all along, systems like these don't usually produce much precipitation anyway. Temperatures will be on the chilly side through Thursday, making it "feel" like winter.
The weekend...
An upper level ridge will build over the area this weekend, so our temperatures will be on the way up. The warming trend will begin on Friday, with readings in the 50s. By Sunday, we should be into the 60s and I wouldn't rule out a run at 70 degrees early next week.
Next week...
A cold front will lurk to the northwest on Monday and then begin moving through the area on Tuesday. This will bring some showers, followed by cooler weather for the middle of the week. Another front will likely move through the Mid-Atlantic on Thursday, as a rather fast zonal flow sets up. This will keep the coldest air to our north, with relatively mild conditions for December through at least the weekend of the 15th and 16th, if not beyond.
