Another snow storm is approaching the region and it appears northern Virginia up through the Northeast U.S. will get slammed yet again. For Hampton Roads, most of the precipitation later today will fall as rain. There could be some mixing early and west, but temperatures warming to about 40° will allow for mainly rain this afternoon and into the evening. Central Virginia may have some sleet or possible freezing rain later today.
As the system slides eastward, colder air and wrap around moisture will likely produce snow showers or flurries for central and northern parts of the area. At this time, it appears accumulations should be confined to northern cities and counties. 1 to 3 inches are possible over the Middle Peninsula and over to the Eastern Shore. The Northern Neck and northern sections of Accomack could see 3 to 7 inches of snow.
On the back side of the storm, west winds will increase to 20-30 mph with gusts to 45 mph. Expect more sunshine Thursday and Friday with highs staying near 40°.
