A Few Flurries Still Possible

The air remains bone dry this evening, so it will be tough for this weak storm system to squeeze out any precipitation tonight. A few flurries will still be possible between midnight and 5 AM, then skies will slowly clear through the day on Monday.

Any flakes that fall will quickly melt once they hit the ground, so I'm not anticipating any troubles on the roads tomorrow. The best chances for some bona fide snow will be in the southwest corner of the state, out of our area.

Quick Update

Temperatures are hovering in the mid and upper 30s across the region. In addition, the air still remains VERY dry. A few sprinkles have tried to develop, but have quickly evaporated. A few flakes could still fall tonight, but the chances are looking pretty slim.

I am looking at some new data coming into the weather center and will update this blog in the next hour. In addition, you can catch me on the 11 PM news...my producer Chris Neelley has put me at the top of the newscast!

Few Flakes Possible Tonight

A weak storm system will pass the area tonight and give us a quick chance for some wet snow. The best chances for flakes will be south of I-64 and will occur between 1 AM and 7 AM. Temperatures will be above the freezing mark, so most of this will melt on impact, but here is what I'm expecting by tomorrow morning:



Although I'm not expecting major problems on the roads tomorrow, there could be a couple isolated slick spots on bridges and overpasses towards the North Carolina state line. I will continue to monitor the situation and have another update around 11 PM.
