Wet and Warmer Wednesday Afternoon

The great thaw is well in progress in Virginia mid-day Wednesday, with winds turning to the South and ushering in much warmer temperatures to the state. By later this afternoon, the entire state will be back into the 40's, 50's, and 60's (from North to South). Fog will gradually decrease from South to North this afternoon, improving visibilities. At Noon, though, visibilities from Richmond north to on I-95 are still at a quarter of a mile.

Another round of rain will move into Western Virginia through the afternoon, and sweep through the state by this evening. I expect the trailing edge of the rain to clear far Southeast Virginia by Midnight.

The latest data still indicates a slight chance for flurries in Central Virginia Friday, as another low pressure system tracks to our North and brings a reinforcing shot of colder air to the region. We are also monitoring a stronger storm system that may impact Virginia and much of the Eastern U.S. Tuesday. Stay with CBS 6, we'll keep you ahead of the storm.
