Dense Fog Advisory Extended


Because of lingering dense fog, the advisory has been extended for Central and Eastern Virginia, where visibilities remain at or below a quarter-mile.

6th Wettest December For RIC


After Sunday's heavy rainfall, Richmond International Airport is inching up the charts among the wettest Decembers on record, and we're only halfway through the month! For the year-to-date precipitation, RIC is at 46.09", which is 4.01" above average by this date.

Widespread Dense Fog


A Dense Fog Advisory is in effect until 9 a.m. for nearly the entire state, but visibilities are most-reduced in Central and Eastern Virginia to or below a quarter-mile. Temperatures are above freezing in this area, so this morning's fog is not a freezing fog event. However, well west of I-95 where the fog is not as dense or widespread, temperatures have been able to dip to or below freezing this morning. Any puddles left after Sunday's heavy rainfall may cause black ice.
