NWS meteorologists wrote in Friday morning's forecast that there is "increasing confidence in an accumulating/plowable snow event later (Sunday) and especially (Sunday) night across the region." There is still some uncertainty about total snowfall amounts because the system is more than 48 hours out,

A storm bringing snow Sunday will be followed by an arctic outbreak dropping temperatures into the 'single digits.'

While this snow may be classified as a “Winter Storm” for Northern Virginia (snow amounts 4+”), this will be more of a “Winter Weather Advisory” type snow for Central and SW Virginia. SEE ALSO: Weather Alert Day: Snow arriving Sunday Southside Virginians might observe snow falling on Sunday,
