Snow likely Tuesday in RVA

A legitimate accumulation is expected

9:00 am Saturday, February 8, 2025

This morning's rain (and small pockets of sleet and wet snow) will be gone this afternoon, but it stays cloudy & cold.

Much nicer outside tomorrow.

Accumulating snow is increasingly likely on Tuesday. A couple or a few inches seems to be the best guess right now, but expect modifications as more data comes in over next 48 hours.

Early idea is that it starts between daybreak and noon Tuesday, but that is putting the cart before the proverbial horse.

Not to be lost, the James River in Richmond is only a few feet below flood stage this morning, and with two additional storms to follow after Tuesday (one Thursday, and another next weekend, and both look like rain) we need to watch more closely for flooding along the James later next weekend.

James River level near Huguenot Bridge over the last 7 days. Forward in time is from left to right. Yellow is the caution zone, orange is minor flooding (12 feet). More info about impacts at: https://water.noaa.gov/gauges/RMDV2

Top level points for now:

Will send another update later this weekend.

Enjoy the weather Sunday, it will be several days before it is that nice again.
