Snow moving in… Snow will build through the Mid-Atlantic today as an area of low pressure slides to our south. A few stray flurries may sneak in this morning but most of our snow will start around midday.
Snow showers will move out from west to east early this evening. Most of Hampton Roads will see 1” to 2” of accumulation with lower amounts north and higher amounts near the NC line. Most of Northeastern North Carolina will see near 2” to 4” of accumulation. Rain will mix in for the southern Outer Banks, limiting snow totals.
Even colder air is set to move in this weekend. Temperatures will remain below freezing all day Saturday and Sunday. Overnight lows will fall into the teens both nights. Winds will ramp up again this weekend, making if feel even colder. Expect NW winds on Saturday between 15 and 25 mph with higher gusts. Wind chills will be close to zero Sunday morning.
We are watching another chance for snow on Monday. What may start as snow should chance over to rain as temperatures quickly warm up Monday and into Tuesday. Highs will climb to near 50 by Tuesday.
