Some snow overnight…
So far this evening, the Williamsburg area up through Gloucester and the Northern Neck have seen snow. Those areas have briefly mixed with rain, but will go back to snow as a rather significant area of wet snow heads south and east after midnight. We still expect a changeover in Hampton Roads and parts of northeast North Carolina, which could put down a coating to an inch, particularly on grassy surfaces, decks, cars, etc. The road surfaces are rather warm, so expect roads to be wet with a few areas of slush just prior to sunrise. For the most part, temperatures are expected to be above the freezing mark.
Here’s the latest forecast for potential overnight snowfall from the Super Doppler 10 Weather Center. While most of Hampton Roads won’t see much accumulation, an inch or two could accumulate across interior Southside and North Carolina, going north through the Peninsula to the Northern Neck and Eastern Shore. The Williamsburg area will likely add to their total, and some places could come in with 3 inches.
We don’t expect any major problems in the morning across Hampton Roads, as road surfaces should be wet with a few areas of slush. The sun will come out and we’ll warm into the 40s. That will mean any snow that is on the ground should quickly melt.
Stay safe!
