RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – On Friday we are monitoring the potential for some light snow across much of the area.
This could start as early as the morning commute.
The Tuesday evening run of the European model continues to show the trend of some light snow arriving Friday morning:
The European model continues the trend of showing light snow moving into Central Virginia on Friday morning. It would also seem likely that any snow will eventually change over to a wintry mix or even light rain for parts of the area during the afternoon. Regardless, light accumulations are still plausible.(WWBT)
There are indications that after a period of light snow, a changeover to a wintry mix may occur by Friday afternoon for a good portion of the area, especially from Richmond and points south and east. That said, some light accumulations are certainly plausible.
WEDNESDAY 4:45AM UPDATE: Not only has the European computer model showed light snow for the past few days, but the American (GFS) model is now forecasting some light snow as well.
At this point we think an inch possible but we’re aware it’s hard to get snow to accumulate in the daytime unless it’s very cold (20s) and/or the precipitation is heavy. Neither one of those options are in play with this potential storm as of yet.
It’s still early in the game as this system could still slide to our south, but Friday is a day we’ll be watching closely.
