Southeast Virginia is preparing for a potential major snowstorm this weekend. A strong Arctic high-pressure system is expected to bring cold air to the region, increasing the likelihood of significant winter precipitation.
A major winter storm is possible this weekend in Southeast Virginia. The interaction of the northern and southern branches of the jet stream will be critical in determining the type and amount of precipitation. A northern track of the storm would favor freezing rain and sleet, while a southern track would favor higher snow totals. The strength of the Arctic high will determine the transition line between rain, ice, and snow. Computer models are consistently pointing to 1″ of liquid to work with with this storm, potentially leading to 6-12″ of snow. If the snow develops as expected, highs and lows could stay below freezing through Wednesday, meaning snow-covered roads could persist for days.
Snow is expected as early as Saturday afternoon, but the latest data suggests it may hold off until Saturday evening.
Preliminary estimates suggest 6-12" of snow is possible.
As of now, it looks cold enough for the snow not to stick to trees and power lines, reducing the risk of widespread outages.
