The Weekend Storm will Dump on Parts of V
February 3rd, 2010 at 5:39 am by Jon Cash under Personalities, Weather
Northern and western Virgina will get dumped on again this weekend. Starting Friday and continuing Saturday heavy snow expected well north and west of our viewing area. At this point this system will be much closer to the region allowing warmer southern air to pop into the area Friday and Friday night before colder air returns later on Saturday.
Travel across parts of the state will be very difficult during this time! Here in the metro area rain will begin on Friday. There could be just enough leftover cold air to allow it to start as a mix north and west of the big cities. Everybody should get rain overnight Friday before the rain changes to snow sometime on Saturday.
The snow on Saturday may only be flurries or it could be accumulating. This will depend on an upper level low pressure system riding through the area. If it’s stronger and slower…it will bring several inches…a weaker and faster one would bring just flurries…stay tuned!

John,
Can’t we name these Winter Storms like we do Hurricanes. To be fair to the alphabet, lets start with the letter Z…….any thoughts?
Good Morning Jon,
I am not well versed in this
computer stuff BUT for a year it has bothered me. PLEASE help the reporters – Olney Road is OLL – NEE. There is an ONLY,Virginia near the DC area.
For the sportscasters ~~Newark, Delaware is NOT pronounced like NJ —
It is NEW — ARK DE. Petty perhaps
but MY favorite ststion should sound more professional to me!
As an aside – my high school English teacher, Miss Mary Knight, loves
your pronouciation of Carribean. She spent time showing how the name
was taken from th Carib Indians.
Well, enough, I still prefer your weather and truly get a great deal from your pulpit lessons.
Blessings, Dreama
