I have reviewed the latest data this morning, and I agree with Aaron’s thoughts Sunday night…the system will be close and colder air will move into place for snow falling...but:
1.) I expect surface temperatures to remain above freezing Tuesday morning.
2.) The track of the low pressure system does look like it will remain well off the coast, keeping the highest precipitation at sea.
3.) I do still expect rain to mix with and change over to snowfall overnight Monday into Tuesday morning, but precipitation will be light and melt at the ground because of the warm soil temperatures. Richmond did not dip below freezing Monday morning, and is expected to be mild in the upper 50’s Monday afternoon. Accumulations should be light from this wet snowfall.
4.) There is a chance for flurries in the Commonwealth Tuesday afternoon into Wednesday, but those will be hit or miss light snow showers.
By the way, it's Groundhog Day. Will Phil see his shadow? Tune into CBS 6 this morning to find out!
