Latest model runs indicate a northward shift in this weekend's storm. As a result, the higher (projected) snow totals have also shifted a bit north as well. Regardless, the area could see significant impacts, especially with bitter cold sticking around for several days after.

[NWS Wakefield @NWSWakefieldVA]

Freezing Fog is occurring again across portions of the area & it has become quite dense. A Freezing Fog Advisory is in effect for the northwest/western Piedmont of VA & a Dense Fog Advisory is out for NE NC through 6am. Remain alert for low visibilities & slick roads/surfaces.

We are watching for a potential winter storm next Wed-Thu. While it's too early for details, the best chance for snow is across the NW portions of the area, with lower chances SE. There is a threat for ice as well across the southern portions of the area. #vawx #ncwx #mdwx
