Yep the clouds and mountains really are a big factor ... Will see if it clears out this afternoon to ramp up any passing energy..Still is very Humid at the moment & the severe threat is def looking more south... Still think later tonight we will see a few scattered TS

Think this little rain storm here in my area (Glen Alen) may of decreased the tornado chances for this specific area. The more south definitely the higher chance of tornadoes & straight line winds. .. The main storms will be out of most of the area by 9pm

Can't say I call it just yet the Next Weds- Monday time frame will be our best hope in awhile.. Nothing certain but Def still a chance.. ha

3:00amLight snow /sleet mix here now in Glen Allen 3:51am mostly & steady light snow now deck about covered 7:13am very light rain with a little light sleet at times now... prob will be all rain soon.. Never really got into any of the heavy precipitation here.. Prob some heavy rain later maybe a quick t storm Prob 1/2 inch mainy on the cars ..roads a light dusting in spots.

https://www.wunderground.com/maps/radar/current/usa Well the T-STORMS really are bringing that warm air in quick... so any chance we prob have is if the precip moves in quicker then expected... At least its cloudy now.. TEMPS shouldnt be going up much more from here..45.4 F here in Glen Allen

all gonna depend on how fast it changes to sleet.. when it happens there is no changing back.. ha

pretty much... I doubt schools will open.. unless the snow/ice is delayed or doesnt happen at all..... rush hour in the morning prob will be the worst of the storm 5-8am .. Main roads prob will be fine after that time frame but back roads and neighborhoods prob wont be treated enough... So schools will mostly call it a day if anything icy is still on the roads..

No real surprise here...Only thing I would change is by the evening commute Weds the main roads should be mainly wet from rain not ice. Of course the more north the more problems..

PROB will see a WWA in most of the RIC area... The sooner it moves in the better for the quick snow accumulaton IMO.. Prob mostly another sleet fest incoming until the rain washes it all away..

looks like we are topping out on our temps.. 65 here now in my part of Glen Allen... A long way to drop...

nam showed about 1-4 inches in the area.. prob mostly on grassy areas

I would have to agree... Mid week next week could be another story...

yep nice little dusting .. looks to be wrapping up in about the next hour west to east from VCU RAM cam ...

eh up to 47 here in my part of Glen Allen with light rain.. prob more time to top out in the next hour or 2 before the drop.. cant see much snow.. who knows even if we will get much ice depending on how fast the precip moves out

Huh? I'm talking about the rain then big drop in temps to a Flash freeze. THE MODLES for this area have yet to really show a chance for much snow for the weekend system. At least so far..

pos flash freeze next weekend...

lost power here for about a 1/2 hour here in Glen Allen. Sleet just picked back up also.. Surprised no talk of a flash freeze tonight from the local stations and more pos power outages. cant see any way of how it wont be a rough morning in many spots in the early morning .

Sleet /frz rain ... LOOKS like we are looked into this for at least through the early after hours.. will be interesting to see how far the plain rain makes it

Back to snow and decent rates here in Glen Allen

let the sleet fest begin.. HERE IN GLEN ALLEN

yep I know... pouring down snow now... more snow has accumulated here in the last 10 mins then we had here all night .. deck finally officially covered.... guess it will flip in the next 10 mins.. ha (hopefully it was just because of the good rates moving in) looks like its still snowing at VCU so that's good https://ramcam.vcu.edu/monroe-park.html

Bigger flakes and steady snow now here in my part of Glen Allen just started to Accumulate again....could be a sign sleet on the way.. ha .. will see..

yeah just walked outside here.. still just the light snow here.. good returns still look to be on the doorstep so we will see soon what happens..
