“Our next system will slide to the south of our region and is expected to remain weak. However, this will likely bring measurable snow to our region well after sunset Friday before getting out of here by mid-morning Saturday. 1-3″ looks very possible in Southern MD with 2-5″ for Tidewater VA.
Overall, I am not expecting high impacts from this system… especially in comparison to Monday’s storm! With that said, I would expect this light, fluffy snow to accumulate on roadways and cause some issues Saturday morning. The highest impacts will be found further south.” – JB Weather Forecast
