Rain and mountain mix tonight; models bring back weekend storm - WDBJ7

WEATHER HEADLINES

• Rain and a wintry mix in the mountains tonight with passing front
• Dry, seasonable start to the weekend
• Models still mixed on weekend snow potential

LATE-WEEK COLD FRONT

A quiet day with high pressure overhead, but clouds will gradually be on the increase this afternoon. Highs will warm back into the upper 40s to low 50s. By tonight, another cold front rolls into the Mid-Atlantic with rain showers through early Friday morning. North of I-64, a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain will be possible tonight. Any accumulations would be light. Winter Weather Advisories have been issued due to possible ice for the Alleghany Highlands and WV mountains.

Our next front brings rain and a mix late Thursday.(WDBJ Weather)

WATCHING THE WEEKEND

Models are starting to come together on this weekend’s forecast. A winter system still looks possible for our area, although we are just seeing the models all finally coming onboard with the event. A low pressure system is expected to develop along a stalled front then move up the east coast spreading moisture into the area.

CONFIDENCE: Confidence is still lower than normal on the storm making it into the region early Sunday. We’d like to have some more data before we can confidently sound the alarm. We should know more late tonight and early Friday.

TIMING: Currently, the timing of the system looks similar to last weekend’s event, entering late Saturday night and lasting into midday Sunday. That will be followed by sunny skies bey the afternoon.

AMOUNTS: In terms of specific amounts, the available moisture appears light, but several inches seems reasonable if everything comes together. Totals would likely be slightly lower than last weekend.

If it materializes, this could be enough to impact travel Sunday morning.

This is still a very fluid forecast, so do NOT make today the last time you check the forecast heading into the weekend. We will have update on WDBJ7.com and the WDBJ7 weather app constantly.

In a dramatic flip, both reliable models brought back the winter weather chance for Sunday. We MUST urge you to check the forecast often as it is clear models don't have a good handle on this yet. Here's what we know so far in terms of timing. pic.twitter.com/9x0E88OCYV

EARLY NEXT WEEK

Monday looks quiet with a few showers moving back in on Tuesday. It looks like the coldest of the arctic air will stay to our north for the time being. Highs early next week stay in the mid to upper 40s.

It looks like the arctic air won't make it this far south.(WDBJ Weather)
