Low Pressure Intensifying Off Coast

Snow showers will track eastward into Central Virginia early this morning, leading to light accumulations in the Advisory area, less than a couple inches. In the Warning area, totals so far have been about 1"-4", and it is still snowing as of writing this entry.

A low pressure system is intensifying just off the Virginia coast early Wednesday morning, which will create a tight pressure gradient over Virginia today. This will lead to sustained winds from the northwest in Central Virginia in the 25-35 mph range, with gusts to 45 mph. In the higher terrain to the west, though, wind gusts in excess of 50 mph are possible today and this evening.
