Winter Storm Update Friday Mid-Day


Part of the Winter Storm Watch in northern Virgina has been replaced with a Winter Weather Advisory, where snowfall is expected to accumulate up to 6", including into the rest of the Watch area. The Middle Peninsula is expected to receive 6" to 9" of snow, with higher totals for Hampton Roads. Locations in the Winter Storm Warning are expected to receive the highest snowfall accumulations, increasing as you go farther south toward the North Carolina border. Much of this region could see snowfall of a foot to 15" after midnight tonight through late Saturday night. Snow is expected to move into Central Virginia from the southwest overnight, beginning as light snowfall. However, intensity is expected to rapidly increase during the day Saturday as the low-pressure system tracks closer to Virginia. Snow will fall heavily through the day before gradually diminishing late Saturday night. Only a few flurries may linger in eastern Virginia by dawn Sunday. This snow is expected to be a light, fluffy snow. We'll be on-air providing extended weather coverage Saturday morning at 6 a.m. and keep you updated through the day on the winter storm.
