Currituck may get a foot
Moderate (to locally heavy) snow is starting to spread
into northeast NC and far SE VA this afternoon. The most
significant snow impacts are expected across far southeast VA
into northeast NC, roughly from far southern Virginia Beach over
to southern Bertie County, NC and over to the northern Outer
Banks. A band of 6-10" is likely (where FGEN forcing will be the
strongest), with locally higher amounts (potentially 12"+)
possible, especially closer to the Albemarle Sound and over the
northern Outer Banks. Unfortunately, there will likely be a very
sharp cut-off in total snow amounts right over the heart of
Hampton Roads, with southern portions of the region well into
warning criteria and areas towards Williamsburg only seeing ~1"
(at best). Further to the NW (towards RIC/central VA), very dry
air remains in place (2 PM dewpoint at RIC is just +4 degrees).
Only a dusting to 1" is forecast up to roughly US-360, with
little to no accumulation expected NW. Snow rates of 1-2" per
hour are possible this evening into early Sunday morning,
especially across northeast NC into far southeast VA.
