Snow Day

Low pressure near the Outer Banks is heading eastward, and the cold high pressure centered over the northern Mid-Atlantic states is still supplying the cold air. A trailing upper level disturbance will keep light snow going overnight and Monday morning as this impressive event finally draws to a conclusion. An additional 1 to 3 inches tonight may provide the icing on the cake.

Cool high pressure builds in for Tuesday and Wednesday. It's dry at least and the melting begins in earnest.

We have another system moving to our area by Thursday night. This one will have more warm air so we wont be looking at another snow event. Clouds increase Thursday, showers possible by Thursday night with showers likely on Friday then lingering into Saturday.
