Winter Storm Warning Issued


A Winter Storm Warning will be in effect from 1 p.m. this afternoon through 1 p.m. Friday for the pink counties highlighted on this map. This is where an accumulation of 1"-2" of a sleet/snow mix may occur, with icing up to a quarter-inch. A winter mix of precipitation is also likely in the Winter Weather Advisory area. Precipitation will begin as a mix of freezing rain and sleet, before also including snow on Friday.
Elsewhere in Central Virginia, a cold rain event is likely, but a few flakes may mix in with the rain on Friday afternoon in the Richmond metro area. However, temperatures are expected to stay a little above freezing, limiting any significant accumulations or icing problems.
