NWS Posts Winter Weather Advisory

Weather forecasters placed Northeastern North Carolina and Southside Hampton Roads under a Winter Weather Advisory Tuesday evening. According to National Weather Service forecasts, a developing low-pressure area will move along the North Carolina and Virginia border late in the evening Tueaday and into Wednesday morning, bringing the possibility of precipitation.

With overnight lows forecast in the mid-20’s across the area, local meteorologists predict any precipitation which falls will be in the form of snow.

Winter Storm Fizzles

Hampton Roads weather forecasters took one for the team Tuesday, as a much hyped winter storm failed to materialize as predicted. Forecasters were forced to eat crow by midday on Tuesday, as the winter storm developed on a more southerly track than anticipated.

As late as Monday evening, forecasters had called for accumulations of 1″ - 3″ in southside Hampton Roads, with accumulations of up to 6″ expected in Northeastern North Carolina.

The storm, which resulted from an upper level disturbance moving off the coast, developed further offshore than forecasters originilly predicted. Snow accumulations started at 1 inch just south of the Coinjock area in Currituck, and increased toward a maximum of 4 inches in Dare County. Locally heavier accumulations were observed.
