Morning Weather Update

Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect for the western third of the state where temperatures are hovering at or below freezing. At 6 AM, there were reports of freezing rain (rain that freezes once it hits the ground) in Charlottesville and Lynchburg. Temperatures will eventually rise above freezing around 10 AM and the advisory will be lifted.

A wintry mix of rain and sleet (ice pellets) was reported in Tappahannock, Orange and Louisa. Although a few ice pellets will still be possible along and north of I-64, it shouldn't be a major concern because temperatures will remain above freezing.
