Flurries in Hopewell

I just got a call from a viewer in Hopewell who says there are flurries falling from the sky. A stray flake or two will be possible tonight, but most areas should remain dry despite the cloud cover.

A better chance for wintry weather will arrive on Tuesday. I just got done looking at the latest data, and it still looks like it will be cold enough to support a wet snow or even some sleet (ice pellets) early in the day Tuesday. Temperatures should warm up in the afternoon so that most precip will change over to a cold rain, which will persist on-and-off through Wednesday.

Right now it is too early to speculate on snow accumulations. There are still too many uncertainties in this forecast to start pinpointing specific amounts. Meteorologist Carrie Rose and Chief Meteorologist Zach Daniel will be in here tomorrow with more updates, so be sure to check back often!
