We've got a chilly night in store, with very dry air settling over Virginia. Dew points are in the single digits and I expect low temperatures in the teens and lower 20s over much of the area. With this dry air in place, there will be plenty of sunshine tomorrow. However, clouds will be on the increase during the afternoon...as the next storm tracks into the Ohio Valley. This storm will bring significant snow to parts of the Midwest and Lower Great Lakes/Upstate NY over the next several days. Here, moisture will be on the increase and we should see some decent rain on Friday.
Still looks like a great weekend...
High pressure is still scheduled to arrive in time for the weekend...so expect plenty of sunshine and temperatures well above average Saturday and Sunday (mid to upper 50s for highs). The warmer weather will linger into the early and middle part of next week.
Down the road...
The next storm is still on target for Feb. 5/6, with the track north of us again. The associated cold front will cool us down a bit, with a secondary surge front bringing the main surge over the following weekend (Feb. 9/10). However, honestly the pattern isn't really showing any sustained cold air over us...so this may be another one of our brief shots of cold air we've received this winter. This isn't unsual for a La Nina winter. We shall see if the second half of February brings any more true winter weather.
