Light Snow Possible Tonight!

Sun, 15 Jan 2012 03:56:00 GMT

This will be brief, but we do have a shot of seeing some light snow tonight as a clipper swings to our south. Best chance is SW of Richmond but a few could sneak into the area late tonight into early tomorrow. Snow is already being reported in Farmville, haven't heard anything from Blackstone or Southern VA yet. The temperatures are in the mid to upper 20s, plenty cold enough for snow, and with dew points in the upper teens, we should have little to no issues with d...

Wintry Mix Today; Wednesday/Thursday Soaker; Arctic Blast Late Week

Tue, 10 Jan 2012 01:40:00 GMT

Good evening all. I hope you all had a great day, despite the cold, wet, and white day for some of you. Areas NW of Richmond saw a wintry mix all day, and picked up anywhere from a dusting to around 2", with the totals increasing the further north you went. The roads aren't looking too bad, but up in northern VA, which picked up 1-2", the roads are a little bit slushy so if anyone plans on traveling up there, exercise a little caution. Places such as Orange, Louisa,...

Rain Tomorrow w/ a Little Winter Weather??; Wednesday Washout; Next Cold Air Plunge

Sun, 8 Jan 2012 21:26:00 GMT

Good afternoon all! I hope you have enjoyed your weekend, and those gorgeous temperatures. Highs yesterday topped out in the upper 60s to even around 70, bigger warm-up than anticipated (originally thought to top out at 60) so I hope you salvaged that. Today is a bit cooler, highs in the mid 50s, but still enjoyable, so take advantage of this as it will begin to turn colder later this week. This week will be quite topsy-turvey as far as temperatures go. After highs ...

First Flakes of the Season Last Night; Wet Weather Early Next Week; Next Arctic Blast

Thu, 5 Jan 2012 22:51:00 GMT

Well snow lovers, you can now breathe a sigh of relief... that is if you saw some flakes last night. A batch of light snow flurries moved through the area late last night, and dropped some light snow in most of the metro. This was all from an upper level disturbance that came from the midwest. I saw some myself, it was very light but consistent. It never accumulated as the precipitation was too light and temperatures were above freezing at the time anyway, but it w...

Possible Snowstorm Next Week???

Wed, 28 Dec 2011 16:58:00 GMT

Good morning folks! We've got a busy week ahead of us so bear with me.I will get to the snow possibility later on in this blog, but for now, a dry cold front has moved through the area ushering in cooler and drier air, as well as windy conditions. Winds could gust up to 25-30 mph today making it feel like the mid 40s. High temperatures will struggle to hit the 50 degree mark. The wind will taper off later this evening. Tonight and early tomorrow though, it will quic...
