THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM THAT CAUSED SNOW ACROSS THE SOUTHEAST IS MOVING OUT TO SEA... DRY WEATHER SHOULD LAST THROUGH SUNDAY, BUT ON MONDAY, WE COULD
The low pressure system that brought snow to cities like Dallas, TX, Atlanta, GA. Mobile, AL is now moving out to sea and it is intensifying. I received a dusting in my VA Beach neighborhood, which is basically what was predicted. No major problems have been reported here in Hampton Roads. To our south in NE NC, more snow fell. Aside from a flurry, I don't think we will see additional snow today. Skies should slowly clear today and tonight. On Sunday, temperatuers move up a bit to around 40 for a high with sunny skies. Another storm system will be approaching Sunday night increasing our clouds and by Monday, rain should be spreading across the region. Later on Monday, there is a chance that the rain could change to snow, but as it stands now, no major problems are expected. Warmer air should spread north as southerly winds will blow out ahead of this system on Monday. Did you know that there is snow on the ground in 49 states? Even the panhandle of Florida had some snow. Hawaii is the only state with no reported snow on the ground. When will this wintry pattern end? Forecasters aren't sure but based on what I've been seeing, we have a few more weeks left of some very active and chilly weather. I'll have an update on Sunday.
