Winter Mix Changing To Rain

The winter mix of precipitation that has affected much of Central Virginia is ending. The atmosphere above ground is gradually warming above freezing as warmer air is advected from the South. Rainfall will continue through the afternoon in Central Virginia, before tapering off from West to East early this evening. Rain totals through 11 a.m. have averaged about a quarter of an inch in Virginia.

Temperatures stayed safely above freezing at the surface through the morning, preventing the snowfall from sticking for long on the ground, and also keeping roads from becoming icy.
