others. quite a bit could add up in spots where it stays all snow. the local radar is quiet statewide. but as we go through the next few hours, a light on shore breeze and a weak disturbance building in in advance of the spotty showers. but again most of the action is sitting down through the mid atlantic region, quite a bit of rain from d.c. points south. but once that bumps into marginally cold air, that means a wintery mix and depending on where you are you either get right now lower to mid 20's far north. near 30 or 31 in the upper valley. upper 20's lakes region. a little above that from concord points south and southeast. we will not see a big temperature tumble from here on out. so not all that cold. temperatures actually holding well above normal overnight lows for this time of year. so in terms of the timeline for the storm, you notice the back edge already racing through south carolina. i'd say by 1:00 or 2:00 tomorrow afternoon it's all gone, but we

6:19 pm
