WINTER WEATHER BULLETIN AND UPDATE FROM THE VIRGINIA WEATHER NETWORK. TUESDAY NIGHT 11:15 PM JANUARY 13, 2015 PRECIPITATION NOW FALLING OVER PARTS OF SOUTHWEST AND SOUTHERN VA AS THE LOW PRESSURE DEVELOPS OFF THE CAROLINA COAST TONIGHT. AS OF 11:00 PM THE LOW WAS DEVELOPING A LITTLE STRONGER AND THE NEWEST MODEL DATA HAS MORE PRECIPITATION COMING BACK WEST HOWEVER, SNOW/SLEET/ICE TOTALS WILL PROBABLY REMAINED UNCHANGED FROM OUR PREVIOUS MAPS. IT IS MORE LIKELY NOW THAT MUCH OF VIRGINIA WILL SEE MORE ON THE UPPER END OF FORECAST SNOW/SLEET ACCUMULATION TOTALS WHICH WILL RANGE FROM A COATING TO 1-2 INCHES IN MOST AREAS WEST OF I-95 TO ALONG THE BLUE RIDGE WITH AREAS ALONG THE 95 CORRIDOR FROM ASHLAND TO NEAR WOODBRIDGE SEEING A POSSIBLE 1-3 TOTAL OF SNOW/SLEET. AS FAR AS THE ICE GOES, IT APPEARS THAT WE WILL NEED TO CHANGE THOSE TOTALS UP TO ABOUT 1/4 - 3/8 ACCUMULATON. THE NEWEST SHORT RANGE MODEL DATA INDICATES THAT MORE PRECIP WILL BE THROWN BACK WEST SLIGHTLY AND THE MAIN AREA OF PRECIP WILL STAY FROM JUST WEST OF THE 95 CORRIDOR AND POINTS EAST. Enjoy the snow, sleet and ice and be careful out there. Please continue to post your reports here. Well try to reply to any questions you may have. Most of the Precip should taper down by Noon Weds. -Quags
