More snow is on its way toward Isle of Wight and Surry counties.

The National Weather Service’s Wakefield station is predicting 1-3 inches will be deposited across Hampton Roads, including the Smithfield and Surry areas, starting Friday evening, Jan. 10, and continuing into Saturday.

“We’re expecting snow showers to begin late Friday into early Saturday morning,” said NWS Meteorologist Harry Thomas.

A new winter storm is tracking northeast up from the Carolina coast and is expected to head out toward the Atlantic Ocean. Hampton Roads residents could see a brief mix of rain and snow in the early morning hours of Saturday, Jan. 11, Thomas said.

Locally higher snowfall totals are possible, Thomas said, depending where the bands of the storm materialize, but the NWS had low confidence as of Jan. 8 as to exactly where these areas will be.

The sky is expected to clear starting Saturday afternoon.

It’s the second winter storm to pass through Hampton Roads in less than a week following two consecutive snowless winters in 2023 and 2024. A Jan. 5-6 storm that the NWS says was the result of a broad mid- to upper-level vortex across eastern Canada deposited a half-inch to an inch of snow across Isle of Wight and closer to two-and-a-half inches in the western areas of Surry, prompting Isle of Wight and Surry county schools to cancel classes for consecutive days on Jan. 6-7.

The near-freezing temperatures that accompanied the first storm are expected to continue through the weekend with a high of 35 degrees and low of 19 degrees on Thursday, followed by a high of 38 degrees and low of 28 degrees on Friday, a high of 40 degrees and low of 30 degrees on Saturday and a high of 38 degrees and low of 20 degrees on Sunday. The NWS, as of Jan. 8, had issued a hazardous weather advisory warning of wind chills dropping to 10 to 15 degrees Wednesday night into early Thursday morning.
