Here comes the BOOM!

All overnight data looks as good, if not better. 

I was tempted to upgrade west regions to 8-12 and east to 4-8. but going to resist as of now. Just know that   literally anywhere the extreme banding sets up has potential for more than forecast. Brief map. West of green line is 6-10 with the best banding places getting 12. East is 3-6 with local spots up to 8.  I highlighted a couple spots that I think can get those higher amounts. West of the Blue Ridge-- SW side of NRV down towards Hillsville and the Mt. Empire. East of the Blue Ridge-- Northeast of Lynchburg EARLY may catch some good banding as the set up and then later in the evening Danville, Martinsville and South Boston may catch the better rates longer.


Final Call to "grade me" on. 





Changeover Times Estimates.  

As the stronger lift moves in, there could be a couple hours of mix of snow and sleet in heavier burst, but eventually it will be snow and heavy stuff. If we flip sooner, watch out.

NRV, MT Empire - North up, bending east to north of Amherst -81 between noon and 2.

Roanoke- Lynchburg. 2 and 4 PM

Danville-Martinsville- South Boston 4 and 7 PM.


Strong possibility of Thunder. Best hour rates may be 2-3 inches for 2-3 hours. Possible tree damage due to wet ground and heavy wet snow.
