It looks like southeastern Virginia will stand the best chance to see a couple inches of snow later Saturday, with up to 1" possible closer to the metro Richmond area. The potential snow will come primarily from a low that will be developing during the day Saturday well offshore, but close enough to brush the eastern half of the state with snow. It remains a tough call, since ground temperatures will still be quite warm, and much of the snow that falls will melt on impact. Best timing for any snow that could stick will be between 5pm and 9pm Saturday, and per the above map, better chances will be to the southeast. We'll be monitoring. -Jim
