ROANOKE, Va. – There’s absolutely no need to go ransacking the bread and milk aisles, but we are tracking a minor weather system pushing through late Tuesday night.
With just enough cold air above our heads, there will be the chance for light snow to develop in parts of the New River Valley and Highlands between about 10 p.m. Tuesday and 6 a.m. Wednesday.
When we say light snow, we mean mostly less than an inch of it. Could it play a brief role in the Wednesday morning commute? Maybe in a few cases.
[IF YOU DO SEE SNOW, send us some pictures and/or videos through Pin It.]
Aside from this system, we’ll stay seasonably cold Tuesday and Wednesday from morning to afternoon. Then, temperatures rise by the end of the week. No, we won’t be in the 70s like last Friday, but 50s will do just fine!
Beyond that, we’ll look toward the weather pattern for Sunday and next Monday.
High pressure to the north is our cold air source, while low pressure to the south is our moisture source. Most data has that moisture source being suppressed farther south by a storm off the coast of Maine.
If that storm off the coast of Maine trends weaker, we could be in business for some wet and/or wintry weather.
