Two low pressure systems are moving through the East Tuesday. The northern low is tracking through the Midwest into the Northeast, bringing strong winds and blowing snow to that region. The cold front associated with this storm will pass through Virginia Tuesday evening, bringing the first shot of colder air this week.
The southern low is moving through the coastal regions of the Deep South Tuesday morning, and will track northeast into the Atlantic Tuesday afternoon. Southeast Virginia will have a chance for rain from this coastal storm, which may mix with a few snowflakes this afternoon in Central Virginia. Precipitation chances, though, are very low the farther northwest you move away from the coast.
As Zach mentioned in his blog update Monday evening, there will be another shot of colder, Arctic air plunging into the region later this week. Another fast-moving low pressure system will usher in a second hit of that cold air to the Midwest Wednesday, reaching Central Virginia Thursday. This will likely be a dry system in Central Virginia, with only a slight chance for a few snowflakes. What we do expect, though, is much colder air. Lows will fall into the teens Friday and Saturday mornings.
