The first of several waves of arctic air will move through central Virginia during the pre-dawn hours Wednesday. Dew point temperatures (a measure of moisture in the air) will drop from the upper 20s to the single digits as the extremely dry air mass settles into the state. Despite seeing some sunshine Wednesday, high temperatures in central Virginia will only reach the upper 30s. A stronger surge of arctic air is still expected to arrive Thursday with brisk northerly winds expected in the area. I am still expecting a period of nearly two full days in which the temperature never reaches the freezing point (melting point). The latest data continues to show a very dry air mass with a lack of focus for snow over the next 7 days. Our best chance is a slight one on Sunday. Have a great Wednesday!
