Are now let's get to our top
story of the week, winter weather.
Here's meteorologist Melissa
Terrazas from the storm with the
storm heading our way. Hey Melissa,
hey, actually that's right.
We're tracking round two
here across Hampton Roads,
arriving late tonight or tomorrow
night and early Saturday morning.
Right now we're dealing.
We're seeing some sunshine.
This is a live view
overlooking Hampton right now.
Temperatures not as cold as they
were yesterday really anywhere
from one to even 5 degrees warmer
compared to this time yesterday.
And to show you what that's looking like.
We're seeing lots of sunshine
across our region.
We're at 35 degrees in
Newport News 34 in Melfa,
and 41 right now in Elizabeth City.
But today we'll really see
highs in the upper 30s and low
40s across the viewing area.
Now here comes around 2:00.
I do want to point out
three different things now.
The rain will arrive late tomorrow
and then it's going to turn into snow.
It come late Friday into your
early Saturday morning.
We're gonna end with anywhere from 4
to 9 inches for parts of the Eastern
Shore in areas closer to the shoreline.
Mostly affecting our eastern counties.
While we could see anywhere from 2 to 5
inches further inland across Hampton Roads,
we're also monitoring for minor and
moderate tidal flooding due to the
wind gusts that could be ranging
anywhere from 35 to even 50 mph
during the developments of the system.
Now the futurecast is going to
take us through time to give us an
idea of what we could be seeing by
later tomorrow into early Saturday
morning again today highs reaching
mostly clear skies and then those
temperatures reaching the upper 30s
and low 40s across the viewing area.
Winds coming in at about moderate
conditions right about 8 mph,
but then come tomorrow we're
going to see an increase in cloud
cover tomorrow morning.
Temperatures in the 20s
inland closer to the coast,
30s around Norfolk and Virginia Beach.
But then come later on tomorrow
evening into the overnight hours.
It's going to start off as rain and then
we're going to see the mixing occur now.
This mixing could include areas
of freezing rain and sleet before
we see the snowfall here and then.
An idea of what midnight could
look like right now.
It's really showing affecting
parts or really half of him.
Hampton Roads,
but that soon changes come Saturday morning.
Notice also the winds coming
in sustained at about 34 mph.
This means gusts could be higher,
again gusting up to 50 mph.
Around this time Saturday morning.
Temperatures also on the colder side.
Now the system doesn't really exit
our area until Saturday afternoon,
but even then we could see a few
lingering flurries apart along parts
of the Eastern Shore just around noon or so.
But even then,
we're left with the cloud cover
and windy conditions as well.
This is a look at what the European
model is saying as far as how much
snow accumulation goes now right now,
areas shaded in blue which is
in Lynn right light,
the lightest of Blues.
Seeing anywhere from maybe two to
five inches, while areas closer
to the shore and then areas,
especially along the Eastern Shore.
Really saying seeing the greatest amounts
of accumulation we're going with anywhere
from 4 to 9 inches as of right now,
and because of the heavy snowfall
potential come tomorrow around
7:00 PM until Saturday afternoon,
we're going to be.
Under a winter storm, watch again.
Accumulating snow.
Wind gusts up to 50 mph,
and of course the colder temperatures,
but of course we'll keep you
updated on the very latest,
but right now you know, enjoy the sunshine.
But if you like the colder temps
today is also the day for you.
We're sitting right at 35 degrees
when we factor in the winds.
Oh, it's feeling like 28 degrees
humidity sitting right at 59% with that
dew point right at 22 degrees today.
Temperatures again, reaching the
upper 30s and 40s up on the peninsula.
Temperature is really kind of in
the mid 30s in the upper 30s as
well and then attempts along the
northeastern parts of North Carolina,
slightly warmer,
reaching the mid 40s out there
and then it come.
Tonight we're going with that low
of 27 degrees a bit cooler inland.
Tomorrow we're tracking the system again,
first starting off as rain and
then mixing and then bringing us
some snow come Saturday morning
and then your 7 day forecast looks
this way across Hampton Roads.
A high of 45 degrees before we see
those showers come tomorrow and then
we're seeing much calmer conditions come.
The rest of the week.
