My Thoughts on Overnight Snow...

Low pressure will slide across the Appalachians tonight across extreme northern North Carolina near the Virginia border. This will provide some "lift" in the atmosphere, which should cause some light snow to fall over the region. One thing to keep in mind though is that we will be fighting some dry air that is inching in from the north. With this in mind, the most significant accumulations will be near the NC line. In Metro Richmond, I expect a bit of light snow and flurries overnight amounting to a dusting in most places, with a few locations possibly receiving up to around an inch (best shot in Chesterfield County). From the Tri-Cities south, there will be a steadier light snow that could produce an inch or two, with some locations in Southside VA near the border receiving up to 3 inches.

Most of the snow should be out of the region during the morning, although a few flurries may linger into the afternoon. The wintry chill will stay in the air through Thursday, but moderation will take place on Friday and readings should soar into the mild 60s during the upcoming weekend.

Hey Mike, I know my question is off topic to this post but will you be posting this week on your thought for late month and into march? I'm hearing that we may have a cold/snowy or stormy last half of Feb into march. Just wanted to know you thoughts on this.

Thanks.
