"Because there is always a 100% chance of weather!"
While I still suspect the biggest winter weather event of the season, the snow impact is far less now. Shifting the zones one notch north for everyone puts most of Northern Virginia in a 2 to 4 inch threat. Maryland 3-5 inches, and the heavier snows up northward! That being said, we may not see…
Tuesday into Wednesday will likely hold the first big storm of the winter. Scenario: The arctic front will stay south far enough to allow warm moist air to override the colder air and cause snow to break out Tuesday. The moist air will be pumped north by a system that will be pushing the precipitation…

A situation is setting up that is challenging and potentially exciting, especially the Northern Half of Virginia, up into DC and Maryland, IF you like Snow! The Arctic front which will be south of Virginia and slowly climbing northward next week, could have an overrunning (moist air thrown up over teh cold air) event that…

Synthetically speaking, we do not have the elements for a big snow storm. The Systems that are coming through are not slowing and amplifying as the flow in the atmosphere is too fast. So we have a wave that is developing off the coast tomorrow night, but it has moved well east of the area!…

well, today thru tomorrow, most of us will see a mix to rain, maybe some snow north of mason-dixon line…. on 13th-14, a clipper comes down and, latest 00z gfs and euro, show some coastal development off va-nc border, have to wait and see on that… then the 15th-16th,. another clipper comes down, a little…
With the evening has come a steady sinking of the dew point. At my house I am own to 9 degree dew points! That is sufficient to cause serious evaporational cooling and sleet! I suspect this will be the first precipitation type here in Northern VA. As expected, Far NW areas have been placed under…
If you had chance to see my forum update, you would know that I have not been overly enthusiastic about the ice chances other than along the immediate piedmont. The high pressure that will provide some cold air damming is not in the best position. The northern virginia nws has this one in grasp. Many…
