A look at the latest data coming in to the CBS 6 Storm Center shows no real change in the timing or extent of the upcoming cold snap. It continues to look like Friday will be the coldest afternoon, with a high of only 27 degrees. The low temperature by Saturday morning will likely be around 13 degrees. This cold pattern will be slow to change, keeping below normal temperatures in central Virginia through at least January 20th.

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!--Carrie
