Good Morning!
While I missed blogging on the more impactful snow that hit the area a couple weeks ago, I wanted to ensure I highlight the upcoming, FRIGID temperatures along the Mid Atlantic and east coast.
There was/is signal for snow in the Hampton Roads area Tuesday night into Wednesday when the MAJOR impact SOUTH snow storm will be there, however the model has changed drastically from its bullish snow totals and now shows the storm moving off the coast/being south and impeded by dry air. Looking at the dew points is vital because if there isn't moisture in the air then no precipitation can develop or it will evaporate before it reaches the surface.
The big story with this storm is the ARCTIC blast of frigid air arriving. It will result in teens and single digit temperatures and stick around all week. Any snow that does fall will not have the opportunity to melt, and any moisture will freeze.
While there still lies uncertainty in the models of any snow, there is rain in the area today. When the frigid air moves in it is dry. There is a very small amount of moisture just off the coast showing on the models now, indicating the possible precip from the EURO model. Looking like confidence of major Hampton Roads area impact is decreasing.
Below are the model images that were reviewed this morning, to include snow totals (not 100% accurate), and the frigid temps moving in. The snow totals are shown to give a better picture of the potential path of the storm.
Stay warm and thanks for reading!
