5:21 am
valley. just enough cold air on the leading edge of this where we do have a chance for snow coming into play. still a lot of uncertainty about exactly where this storm is going to track to. so what we're giving you is our best estimate for what we think will happen. winter weather advisories have been issued now from 10:00 tonight until 10:00 a.m. tomorrow morning. snow likely to start sometime mid to late evening probably not until after 7:00, 8:00 tonight. so no problems for the daylight hours today or the commutes today. accumulating slushy wet snow midnight to sunrise for the most part tomorrow. could lead to delays or cancellations for some area schools tomorrow. so to know that this could be an impact. here is when it really starts to change. 8:00 tonight, snow moving in. and again, temperatures are going to be quite the challenge with this storm. none of our commuter models bring us all that far down to or below the freezing mark. so as a result, getting snow at 34, 35 degrees is a lot harder than if it was this cold. right now on your way out
5:22 am
20s. that would certainly be told enough for snow. but by this time tomorrow, we'll be like 34, 35 degrees. that is a tricky one. so for today, 20s this morning. low to mid-40s for daytime highs today as clouds roll in. future weather carries the opportunity for snow moving in after 7:00, 8:00 tonight. and then between midnight and 6:00 a.m., that's our best chance to get some snow. and snow amounts likely to be just a little higher south of the metro as opposed to north. european model gives 2 inches in fredericksburg and 1 inch here in the city. american holgd more model a lit aggressive. so generally 1 to 2 inches in the in the trmetro. next four days, cold today, rain, snow late tonight, early tomorrow. weekend partly to mostly cloudy, 40s to near 50. could have an overnight snow shower saturday night in to early sunday, but tomorrow will be a weather
