ROANOKE, Va. – A weak storm system to the south brushes by the area Sunday morning, producing light snow above the 3,000 foot level in parts of Grayson, Carroll and maybe Floyd and Wythe Counties. Any rain would be light from Patrick County east into Halifax County.
There’s a lot of dry air battling the precipitation up above, so we don’t expect this to put too much of a damper on the day.

12% of our annual snow comes in the month of March, but it won’t happen during the first week of the month. We’ll see highs in the 50s and 60s through at least the fourth of the month.
The Climate Prediction Center’s outlook through the eighth of March shows a high probability of above average temperatures with most precipitation staying just to our west.
