Snow showers possible today and tonight
Posted Jan27, 2007 at 11:20 PM
Don't be surprised to see a few snowflakes on Sunday morning, possibly mixed in with the rain. When the windy Arctic front passes later in the day, the upslope snow squalls will get going again in West Virginia and the higher mountains of Western and Southwest Virginia. By Sunday evening, a few of those snow showers will spill into the New River and Roanoke valleys, but little accumulation will occur. It will probably be a lot like Thursday was, with snowflakes in the air but not much to show for them.
This is going to be a cold week, with most days struggling to top freezing and nighttime lows ranging from the low teens to the low 20s. Precipitation is still a fairly good bet toward the end of week, but what type of precipitation is a huge question mark. The track of the system will be all-important, as any jaunt to the west of us would actually pull milder air into the region with the precipitation before a new round of Arctic air comes in during the weekend.
