Winter Mix Wednesday Morning

Widespread precipitation continues to move into Central Virginia Wednesday morning. A winter mix of sleet, snow, and rain is falling along and North of a line from Farmville, to the Richmond Metro area, to the Northern Neck. South of this line, precipitation is falling as just rain. Surface temperatures are remaining above freezing in most places, however, so I do not expect accumulation or icing on roads. However, elevated and exposed surfaces like bridges/overpasses may briefly develop a few icy spots this morning. The light snow that is falling in the Richmond Metro area is melting as soon as it hits the ground, but is briefly accumulating on elevated exposed surfaces like cars.

I expect most of the mix to end by 10 a.m. in Central Virginia, transitioning over to all rain. The rain will continue to fall through the afternoon, before ending from West to East early this evening.
