Much-Needed Rain Headed This Way

Scattered light to moderate rain will continue overnight, with temperatures remaining in the mid 30s. Temperatures in the higher elevations of Nelson, Amherst, Augusta, and Rockbridge counties will fall very close to or just below freezing, allowing a light coating of ice to develop. A freezing rain advisory is in effect for these areas until 10 AM Saturday. A steady soaking rain is expected Saturday in central Virginia, especially in the afternoon and early evening hours. Most of central Virginia will receive at least a half an inch of rain, with several areas seeing more than an inch. The rain will become more scattered in nature on Sunday, making it the better of the two weekend days to do any outdoor activities.
