Snow Showers & Gusty Winds Linger In Peninsulas

Snow showers combined with gusty winds are kicking up snow in parts of the Northern Neck and Middle Peninsula mid-day Friday. Moderate snowfall is tracking southeast at 20 mph at this time, and will affect areas along and north of I-64 for another hour or so. Additional accumulations should be less than 0.5" from these new showers, but with the gusty winds, snow on the ground will be blown about and can reduce visibilities a bit.

Elsewhere, skies are clear in Central Virginia with much colder air surging into the Mid-Atlantic. Northwest winds will stay in the 15-20 mph range all afternoon, with higher gusts.
Wind Chills are currently in the upper teens and low-20's in the region.
