Cold shot will be sharp, but short-lived
It is going to get cold and windy in the Monday-Wednesday time frame, as the first real shot of Arctic air moves in. There will likely be snow showers in the mountains of West Virginia and far western Virginia, and a few flurries may make it into the New River Valley. I wouldn't even rule out a flake or two in the Roanoke Valley early Tuesday or early Wednesday. But this will be a short-lived shot of cold air. By week's end, a large dome of warm air will begin building eastward, and by the 6-10-day period, the Climate Prediction Center map of 6-10-day temperatures looks mighty red, indicating a likelihood of above-normal temperatures over much of the country.
