Some Winter Weather In the Air...

Well snow lovers, at least for many of you there's some white stuff in the air for the early morning. As the cold front whipped through central Virginia, temperatures took a tumble and our light rain changed to light snow in the metro. Grassy surfaces will have some accumulation during the early morning, but I don't expect any problems on the roads, as surface temperatures should remain just above the freezing mark. The precipitation should gradually taper off from west to east during the morning. The main "storm" we've been talking about for days now should pass well east of us, sparing us any significant precipitation. However, another piece of energy in the upper levels of the atmosphere will swing over the Mid-Atlantic later tonight, possibly triggering a few more snow showers or flurries into early Wednesday.

The chill will be back in the air for the next few days, with afternoon highs tomorrow and Thursday only in the 30s. Then a big warm-up is on tap going into the weekend, when readings should be in the 60s for Saturday and Sunday.
