Cold Start to the Work Week

Monday will be a cold day in central Virginia, with temperatures only reaching the low 40s. I expect a big warm up on Tuesday and Wednesday, with highs in the upper 50s and low 60s. Rain will become likely by mid week with the approach of a strong storm system. Have a great work week!

Flurries Exit, Winds Strengthen

Flurries continue to diminish across the area this morning and we will finish the day with partly cloudy skies and dry conditions. At this hour we have winds from the west at 5 to 15 mph. They will strengthen to 20 to 25 mph in the afternoon with gusts up to 35 mph. The wind will then drop to 5 to 15 mph after sunset.

Flurries Linger This Morning

Doppler Max 6 has detected a few flurries north of I-64 in Albemarle, Louisa, Spotsylvania and Caroline counties. These are drifting to the southeast and could clip the Richmond metro area and possibly farther south into Petersburg. A few flakes will be possible for the next couple hours, then we will have partly cloudy skies for the rest of the today.

Winds will strengthen into the afternoon with gusts up to 35 mph from the northwest. Winds will quickly diminish after sunset.
