The Snow Today...

I don't have any changes to the forecast this early morning. A very light snowfall is expected over the region. The quickly developing area of low pressure will strengthen off the Carolina coast. It should be too far south and east of us to provide any significant snow for central Virginia, but accumulation up to around an inch is possible. Higher amounts will be found as you head south, with up to 2" in some locales near the Tri-Cities over to Williamsburg and 2-4 inches along the North Carolina border over to Norfolk/VA Beach. They will see a few heavier bursts as the storm begins to deepen.

Here's the lowdown on accumulation potential:

Richmond Metro: Up to about an inch or so
North of Ashland & West of Goochland: Nothing more than a few flurries or snow showers
Tri-Cities over to Williamsburg: 1-2 inches possible
Emporia and Franklin over to Norfolk/VA Beach: 2-4 inches possible
