Storm Update

A broad storm system will continue to affect our weather through the end of the work week. Widespread heavy rain is expected, with in excess of 2" of rain possible in central Virginia. The threat for strong to severe thunderstorms will bear close watching as well. As the system exits the area, enough cold air should be present for a light wintery mix early Friday.

Chance For Ice Diminishes

Temperatures continue to climb into the mid 30s and lower 40s across the entire area. Spotty light showers have developed in the southwest corner of the state and should slowly move into our skies later today. We will finish today with patches of light rain or drizzle and mild temperatures. In fact, temperatures will not drop off after sunset, instead they will hold steady or even rise!

Quiet For Now

Right now we have mostly cloudy skies and dry conditions. Temperatures across central Virginia are mainly in the mid 30s. Temps farther west in Charlottesville, Farmville and Lynchburg are hovering around the freezing mark. I've noticed a spot of moisture pop up in northern Buckingham county. More than likely that moisture is evaporating before it hits the ground.

I'm expecting isolated patches of drizzle will develop west of I-95 by late this morning. With temps near the freezing mark, some ice could develop. I will continue to monitor the situation and more updates through the morning.
