Near blizzard conditions possible this evening and early Wednesday across southeast VA and Eastern Shore, mainly near the coast and Bay.

 Roads will quickly become treacherous, and travel difficult.

Due to cold temperatures, road impacts will likely continue Thursday, and possibly Friday (rural/neighborhood roads). 


Event Timing: Late this afternoon through noon Wednesday.
 
Snowfall - Snow totals have increased for our area to 5” to 10” as the front has moved a little north of original track.

 Exact snow amount could change depending on the intensity and track of the coastal storm.

Temps - Lows tonight: 15 to 20. Highs Wednesday: mid 20s to near 30. Above freezing are expected only briefly Thursday afternoon. Lows Wednesday night 10 to 15; Thursday night around 20.

Winds - Tonight through Wednesday afternoon: 15-25 mph with gusts 30-35 mph; highest close to the water. Wind chills tonight and Wednesday will range from zero to 10 degrees.
 
Storm Surge - No flooding or significant tidal departures expected.
