WEATHER BEAT: Snow Likely Tuesday Morning; Frigid Temps Follow

Posted

weatherbeatlogoAfter a somewhat disappointing start to the winter season for some snow lovers, it looks like we might be getting some action this month.

We are currently monitoring arctic air as well as a clipper system from Canada that is poised to hit our region early Tuesday morning.

I am forecasting anywhere from half an inch to even as much as two inches of snow locally, with higher totals the further north you travel. Places like Leesburg could wake up to as much as three inches of snow. Any amount of snow that we receive will likely impact the morning commute as well as local schools.

In addition to the snow, the bigger story may be the frigid temperatures. This week will see some of the coldest air so far this season. Temperatures by Wednesday morning could drop as low as the single digits.

Stay safe on the roads during the snow and bundle up!

My favorite thing to do is study the weather. It is truly fascinating. Nothing beats a good thunderstorm. I became very interested in weather when I lived in Okinawa, Japan for four years and was actually inside a super typhoon.”
