Periods of light snow and flurries are expected Monday afternoon in Central Virginia. New light precipitation is forming in western Virginia at Noon, and is moving east toward I-95. Temperatures are above freezing in Central Virginia, so any snow that does fall is not expected to stick on the ground for long before melting. Northwest and far North-Central Virginia may see snow accumulations this afternoon and evening, along and north of Charlottesville and Fredericksburg. There is a Winter Weather Advisory in effect for this part of the state into D.C. and Maryland, where a couple of inches of snow may accumulate, and roads may become slick and hazardous.
Visibilities are much-improved at Noon, as compared to this morning when clouds were as low as 100 feet above the ground, with fog and mist. Not much precipitation actually made it to the ground through the morning hours, though.
Snow shower chances continue into Tuesday for much of the state, but southern and southeastern Virginia have a chance for snowfall accumulation up to 4" in spots. In the Richmond metro area, once again only light snow is expected to fall, with about an inch of snow accumulation possible Tuesday. From South Hill to Williamsburg and points south, 2" to 4" of snow accumulation is possible by the end of Tuesday. A Winter Storm Watch is in effect for far southeast Virginia, from east of Franklin to Suffolk, Norfolk, and Virginia Beach from late Monday night through Tuesday. Up to 5" of snow accumulation is possible in the Watch area.
