Rainy Sunday morning, but clearing in afternoon

A strong low pressure storm system is moving through the Northeast Sunday morning, bringing rain to much of Virginia. Early Sunday morning, a winter mix of precipitation was occurring in the mountains out west, and also in north-central Virginia from Fredericksburg to D.C. For this reason, there is a Winter Weather Advisory in effect until 10 a.m. for those counties out west and far north-central. This storm system will quickly move northeast Sunday afternoon, ending central Virginia's rain chances by early afternoon. On the backside of this low, much colder air will settle in over the region, with low temperatures falling into the 20's Monday morning in central Virginia, and into the teens by Tuesday morning. Another round of rain is expected by Christmas Eve and lasting into Christmas Day. At this time, it looks like this system will bring rain to central Virginia instead of a White Christmas.
