I had a forecasted high of 51 today, but only reached 48. Starting to drop now that the rain has started. Here's to hoping we get to see at least a little bit of snow before it all ends.
Heavy sleet now here in Midlothian. I'm hoping it means we're about to flip to snow for the final burst. My wife is dying for a day off tomorrow (Henrico public schools).
Just went out because I thought the heavier rates were coming, but it flipped to a snow/sleet/rain mix. I'm in Midlothian. Not a good sign. Was 30 degrees.
I'd hate to be a local met. Somewhere within 30 miles of Richmond is going to get 6-8"+ and somewhere within 30 miles is going to see nothing but rain.
Still holding out hope that we can stay frozen. I would absolutely HATE for it to be just a cold rain at 33 degrees. On the 12k name, the 32 degree line runs right through RVA.
I'm prepared to be disappointed. Just hoping for a good period of snow on Saturday before we mix and ice up the joint. Going to hold onto a small sliver of hope that it's much colder than forecasted and we can hold onto the snow for as long as possible. This will actually be a fun one to watch unfold.
Includes a lot of sleet, though. The good news is that it wants to jackpot the RVA area QPF wise, the bad news is that it's not all snow, and it's the HRDPS.
Not looking too good for some of us. Might be a situation where Short Pump gets 6"+ and southside/mechanicsville get 2" and some rain.
The 06 FV3 has almost all of us with low amounts and lots of rain. I'm going to hold on hope since last storm, the cold air was stronger than modeled. Even Norfolk/Williamsburg got in on the action. Hope the Rain/Snow line stays further east than depicted.
