Tuesday Storm Update...

There remains a threat for wintry weather early Tuesday morning across the region, particularly points north and west of Richmond. Moisture caused by overrunning (warmer air up and over colder air at the surface) should provide precipitation by early morning. Temperatures will lower into the low and mid 30s as colder air sneaks in at the surface from the north. A mix of sleet and freezing rain is possible at the start, even in and around Metro Richmond, although it shouldn't be widespread. Places north and west of the city will have the greatest threat for some icy weather, with temperatures hovering near 32 degrees. While there could be some snowflakes mixed in as well, the air aloft will warm rather quickly and therefore the change to liquid. It will be a cold rain for most Tuesday afternoon.

Thursday snow chances remain...

It shouldn't be a big deal, but a few snow showers/flurries are still possible on Thursday, as an upper trough swings across the Mid-Atlantic. Stay tuned...
