Seasonable Start to Week

Seasonable temperatures are expected for the beginning of the work week. An upper low will continue to track toward the Northeast, with two surface systems forming in response. The northern one will track through the Midwest into the Northeast on Tuesday. The southern one will form in the Deep South, and move into the Southeast Coast Tuesday. This means Virginia will be stuck in between the two lows (see forecast surface pattern image to the right, and notice the surface low to our North, and the surface low to our Southeast). Highest rain chances will be in the southeast quarter of the state Tuesday, as the southern low approaches. Highest snow chances will be in the far western Virginia mountains as the northern low approaches. Central Virginia has a chance for rain spreading north through Tuesday afternoon. Happy Monday!
