Jim Duncan’s First Warning Forecast
The storm for later Sunday through Monday night is still slated to be a major-impact system for Virginia, with a mixture of precipitation types across the Commonwealth. Most of the daylight hours on Sunday will be dry, even with some sun early in the day. Winter Weather Advisories have been issued by the NWS for most of southeastern Virginia, with Winter Storm Warnings in northern areas. They are in effect from 4 p.m. Sunday through 7 a.m. Tuesday. We’ll likely see more alerts issued later Monday/ Monday night with future updates.
The system will come in two phases, the initial one Sunday evening into early Monday, then the coastal Low develops east of Virginia later in the day Monday, bringing a few more hours of a mix back to snow before ending. Storm totals will be on the order of up to 2 inches in the Advisory areas, and 4-6″ in Warning areas.
