FORECASTERS ARE CLOSELY WATCHING A LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT IS EXPECTED TO MOVE ACROSS FLORIDA THIS WEEKEND... ANOTHER STORM SYSTEM MAY AFFECT HAMPTO
This is truly an incredible winter for the Mid-Atlantic states. Washington D.C , Philadelphia and Baltimore have seen their snowiest winter in recorded history and winter is far from over! The cold has been unrelenting and no real warm-up is in sight. Currently, forecasters are watching a low pressure system that is going to develop in the Western Gulf of Mexico. This low is going to move across Florida and it is expected to cause snow to areas that rarely get snow in the Southeastern states. Over the last few days, the models have been trending northward but not far enough north to bring Hampton Roads significant snow... but stay tuned! It is still possible that the northern edge of this system causes some snow across our southern most areas. You should monitor your local media and the NWS for updates throughout the day on Friday. Another system may affect the region on Monday, but I'll have more on that system on Saturday. If you're wondering when this cold and stormy pattern is going to end, there are no easy answers. The pattern may last the remainder of this month.
