Expect Gradual Clearing and Very Cold Temps

The flurries have now ended in the area and skies are beginning to clear. Lows tonight will fall into the low to mid 20s in the metro, with even colder readings north and west of Richmond.

Clouds Thicken, Flurries To The West

Isolated patches of flurries have developed west of I-95. The best chance to see flakes right now will be from Orange through Charlottesville and farther south into Farmville. Clouds have returned for most of central Virginia and isolated flurries will still be possible across the entire state for this afternoon. Skies will quickly clear later this evening, especially right after sunset.

Winds have also strengthened from the northwest 15 to 25 mph (stronger gusts possible). These breezes will ease up later tonight and into tomorrow morning.

Wintry Weather Quickly Exiting

Light snow lingers in the southeast corner of the state and should be completely gone in the next couple hours. In fact, skies are now clear for most of central Virginia. The core of the storm system is still to the west and will pass over the area later this morning and into the afternoon. Clouds will quickly return and isolated flurries will also be possible.

Wintry Mix To The South

There have been several reports of light snow south of I-64 - from Emporia to Wakefield and into Virginia Beach. I also got a phone call from a viewer in Dewitt who says it's snowing. This batch of wintry weather is moving to the southeast and shouldn't affect Richmond or communities to the north. In addition, temps are well above freezing, so I am not expecting any significant accumulations with the snow this morning.

Isolated pockets of flurries will still be possible for the entire state this afternoon as the core of this storm system passes overhead.
