Less is more, right?

Radar returns look a lot more impressive than what is actually occurring at the surface.  We did have some light snow across parts of the region earlier this morning with higher totals reported in our far west/southwest counties.  Dry air stuck around a little longer than expected which caused a lot of the snow to evaporate before reaching the ground.

The trough of low pressure that extends northwest from the low that is moving into the Mid-Atlantic will continue to move east through this afternoon.  An upper level disturbance currently moving through Iowa will continue to push dry air into the mid-levels of the atmosphere.  Any snowfall that is left over as this low moves through may see a brief period of light freezing drizzle mixed in.  This will more than likely occur across the far western part of the WTVO forecast area.  Otherwise look for minor accumulations through the remainder of the afternoon.
