Arctic air will continue to move into the Commonwealth tonight, with bitterly cold air in place on Tuesday.

Upper-level energy will increase Tuesday morning, with low pressure developing off the North Carolina/Virginia coast Tuesday afternoon and evening.

Heavy snow will be likely across far southeast Virginia, with a dramatic drop off in snow totals over a short distance to the north and west.
