A cold front will move through central Virginia overnight, clearing the state by midday Saturday. Temperatures will slowly fall from the upper 40s at sunrise, to the low 40s at sunset. A storm system will bring rain to the area Saturday night through Sunday, with a winter mix expected north and west of Richmond.

Fog Expected To Lift Soon
The fog is sluggish to exit the region. Visibilities all along I-95 are still below one mile. Here are some images from our Sky Tracker cameras. The first one is our camera on the Dominion building...you can't see anything because of the fog!
Things are looking gray on Broad Street in the Near West End.
There has been some improvement in Petersburg, but outlying areas are still foggy.

The airport is still looking bad.
Things are looking a lot better to the southwest, where in Danville and South Hill, visibilities have increased above three miles. This trend will continue farther north into central Virginia in the next couple hours and we will be done with the fog by this evening.
Although most of the rain has moved north, we could still see a stray shower this afternoon and early evening.

Fog Continues
Visibilities are still below a mile for most of central Virginia. In fact, visibilities are less than a quarter mile in Charlottesville, Farmville and South Hill!
Here is what it looks like in downtown Richmond. We are looking off to the west - the downtown expressway is at the bottom of the image.
Here is a view from the ground from our rooftop camera here at the studios in the West End on Broad Street.
I'm still expecting visibilities to improve around noon today. However, spotty showers will still be possible into the afternoon.

Dense Fog This Morning
Areas along and west of I-95 are experiencing dense fog this morning. For this reason, Greensville County Schools are on a two hour delay and Brunswick County Schools are on a one hour delay.
Visibilities are below one mile in most locations, so this could slow you down for your morning commute. Most of the fog will lift and visibilities will improve by noon.
Isolated light showers are also moving across the area this morning. We will have a chance for hit-and-miss showers into the afternoon and then dry off later this evening.
