Steve's Setlist: Sno-way!
Yep — chances of snowfall across most of Hampton Roads continue to look likely late Friday night! However, it won't be an all-snow event for all of us, so there are some tricky nuisances to the forecast.
Track 1Believe by CherBelieve it — we got a chance of snow on the way! The key ingredient needed is the cold air, and we know that's been locked in for quite some time. The fast moving system will race across the southern U.S. and arrive here at Hampton Roads Friday night. So only expect increasing clouds Friday after a sunny, cold, morning. Wind chills will still be around 15 to 20 degrees Fahrenheit Friday morning … and as the breeze backs off highs will be pinned in the 30s yet again. So that cold air is locked in!
Track 2Snow (Hey Oh) by Red Hot Chili PeppersAs intricate and challenging as John Frusciante's riff of this 2006 ear worm is, is as intricate and challenging as this snowfall forecast is. That's simply because of that dreaded rain-snow line. … So, the farther north you are, the better chances of snow. The farther south you are, the better chances of rain.
Across the Peninsulas and the Eastern Shore — this does look like an all-snow event! Snow moves in late Friday night and carries over to early Saturday morning. Totals could be around 1 to 3 inches, maybe up to 4 inches+ in some spots. On the Southside, snow starts up late Friday night and continues through most of the night, but by early Saturday morning there will be a brief wintry mix that could slick things up and limit snow totals. Maybe around 1 to 3 inches. Then along the state line and into northeastern North Carolina, things start up with snow first, then flip to ice overnight, the flip to rain briefly Saturday morning. So snow totals won't be much, with minor ice accumulations as well.
Track 3Movin' Out by Billy JoelPrecipitation won't last long Saturday morning, in fact, by the time most of us crawl out of bed and go to grab that second cup of coffee this system will be moving out! We could see the sun come out by lunchtime Saturday, so while roads will be slick through late morning, improving conditions across town are expected by Saturday afternoon. Careful, however, driving north Saturday night and Sunday morning as the cold air sticks around — icing is possible.

Hot and dry weather this weekend
Drier weather will continue to move into New Mexico into this weekend. Storm chances will still be possible Friday afternoon in far eastern New Mexico. That includes another threat of severe weather. Temperatures will continue a warming trend across the state Friday. On Saturday, only a spotty shower or two is likely in northeast New Mexico, but on Sunday, more isolated storms are possible in northern and eastern New Mexico. Temperatures will again continue to warm up through the weekend, with Sunday being the hottest day for most. More moisture will move into eastern New Mexico Monday, bringing a better chance for showers and thunderstorms up to the northern mountains as well. Outflow from those storms will push moisture as far west as the Continental Divide Tuesday morning. This will bring a more widespread chance for storms Tuesday afternoon. Rain chances move back into eastern parts of the state Wednesday. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Rain ends, sun breaks out Saturday afternoon
We have a rainy start to Saturday as a cold front and low pressure system works through the region, but have no fear! The weekend does not look like a wash out! By afternoon our winds will begin to shift to the Northwest allowing for dry air to filter in from the west leaving us with a partly sunny finish to the day. There could be an isolated spot shower or two working southeast during the afternoon, otherwise temperatures climb to the middle and upper 70's. We are watching for some additional wildfire smoke to pass through the region, especially close to the ground, leaving to unhealthy air quality especially in the counties highlighted in gray! Sunday features partly to mostly sunny skies, and temperatures climbing into the upper 70's Have a great weekend! -Skytracker Chief Meteorologist Haley Bouley Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.
