A chilly weekend is in store for Hampton Roads. A weak frontal system will move through Saturday night and early Sunday bringing a brief period of very light rain and/or snow to some parts of the area. The best forcing is to our north so the further north you are, the best chance that you will see some type of precipitation. Amounts should be very light so no major problems are expected. A more important frontal system will move into the region on Tuesday which will introduce the chance of precipitation and this may last through Thursday. Temperatures will most likely warm up somewhat lessening the chance of any frozen precipitation. Wednesday could turn out to be a very wet day, but I'll have an update on that on Sunday. I was looking at the temperature map of North America and it is extremely cold in Central and Northern Canada. While this very cold air has been invading parts of the mid-section of the U.S., it is still not known how much of it will move southeast into our neck of the woods.
As promised, here are the precipitation totals in my VA Beach backyard since the beginning of the year:
Jan: 1.55 Feb: 6.10 Mar: 2.75 Apr: 7.50 May: 3.40 Jun: 1.70 Jul: 11.80 Aug: 1.30 Sep: 11.20 Oct: 1.95 Nov: 7.90 - The total for this year so far is 57.15 inches which is significantly more than the total at ORF.
