The official start to winter is still seven days away, and here we are on round three of the winter weather.
What we are expecting out of this storm is a few inches of snow starting around 7 a.m., then changing to sleet around 2 p.m., before finally ending as a period of rain as it pushes off to our north and east.
In terms of actual snow totals, you can expect anywhere from 1-3 inches locally, but points north and west could see as much as 6 inches of snow. Heading east towards D.C., you can expect little to no accumulation. As far as ice accumulation is concerned, I am not expecting anything major. In fact, the National Weather Service has yet to post an advisory as of late Friday for Prince William County.
Behind the third round of winter weather, we have a nice break with plenty of sunshine and highs in the 40s through Friday.
To sum it all up, I am not expecting a major snowstorm out of this, however, it will likely cause slick travel conditions, so be careful if you plan to be out and about Saturday.
“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.”
