THERE’S ANOTHER POTENTIAL STORM FOR THE MID-ATLANTIC STATES DURING THE TUESDAY NIGHT THROUGH THURSDAY PERIOD… WHERE WILL THE RAIN/SNOW LINE BE FOR THIS STORM?… HOW MUCH SNOW WILL THIS STORM GENERATE AND WHO WILL GET THE BRUNT OF THE SNOW?
Yes, there is another storm system poised to affect the Mid-Atlantic States by mid-week, but there is quite a bit of uncertainty about this storm and its evolution. What track does it take? How much cold air will be in place? Will there be wrap-around moisture (snow)? How much precipitation will fall and where? How high will the winds get? How severe will the tidal flooding be? These are the usual questions when coastal storms threaten our region and this next storm is no exception. Models are differing in their solutions. Right now, forecasters are going with a middle of the road approach. I would definitely stay tuned on this storm. Yes, it will already be March, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t get significant snowfall here in Hampton Roads. From the way it looks now, temperatures will probably be a bit too warm for snow along the coast, but stay tuned. Winds could be a factor as the storm intensifies offshore. Meanwhile, Sunday and Monday look decent with temps just below seasonal averages.
