The rain is anticipated to begin in the morning, stated Mike Montefusco, a meteorologist with the National Climate Service in Wakefield. Climate reports indicate that the wintry mix could set in involving 8 p.m. Monday and two a.m. Tuesday, and snow may perhaps come just after 2 a.m. Tuesday.
By Tuesday’s finish, the Peninsula could see 1 to 1.five inches of accumulation.
A storm coming from the north is anticipated to drop about two feet of snow in New England and much more than a foot in New York and New Jersey, said Lyle Alexander, a climate service meteorologist. As it moves south, exactly where temperatures are warmer, the snowfall will lessen, leaving a just dusting in Newport News.
Calling for milder temperatures on Monday, equivalent to Sunday, Lyle stated the higher is anticipated to be in the 50s. Temperatures will fall Tuesday as the day goes on with highs in the mid 30s. Wednesday will warm up a bit with highs in the upper 30s. Overnight temperatures will dip well beneath freezing and hover in the 20s, Lyle mentioned.
