The models continue to trend towards a more snowy solution for the storm that will move into the area tomorrow. The storm appears that it will be stronger and have more moisture than previously thought, which would increase precipitation totals and cause the changeover from rain to occur more rapidly.
Current thinking is that a low pressure system will develop over the southern mountains today and strengthen as it moves towards southeastern Virginia tomorrow. This will bring rain into the area tonight through tomorrow evening. At that time, enough cold air will filter in to begin changing the rain to snow from west to east. The entire state should change over to snow by late tomorrow night.
There is the possibility of significant snowfall, especially along and west of the Blue Ridge before it tapers off on Thursday morning.
Stay tuned to this blog and other media outlets for updates on the storm!
