The "s-word" is back in some forecastsPosted Nov05, 2007 at 10:18 PMIt was mid-April the last time there were snowflakes in the air over Southwest Virginia. Snow returns to some forecasts for areas west of Roanoke, including parts of the New River Valley, for Tuesday night as a cold front's frigid northwest winds will sweep moisture up the western slopes of the Appalachians, triggering those squally snow showers that become commonplace as we get deeper into winter. I wouldn't be surprised if a few flakes fluttered into the Roanoke Valley on northwest winds, but the best chance of seeing snow will be to the west of I-81. Some higher elevation areas of West Virginia and far western Virginia might even see some white on the ground. Click here for latest local forecasts by counties. |
