A Winter Storm Watch is in effect from late tonight through early Friday morning for the Northern Neck, where persistent snow showers are expected overnight through early Friday as a strong low pressure system spins offshore and gradually tracks northward. In the Watch area, 2" or more of accumulation is expected, with some spots potentially receiving near 5" of accumulation. In the rest of Central Virginia, 1"-2"of snow is expected, with some spots potentially receiving near 3", and areas into the Piedmont less than an inch.
Mid-day Wednesday, rain showers are expanding into Central Virginia, with snow in Southwest Virginia. A changeover to snow is expected in all of Central Virginia just after dark, with snow showers continuing through the Thursday morning commute. Surface temperatures will not fall to freezing until after Midnight tonight, which means most of the snow will primarily accumulate on grassy and elevated surfaces. The roads will remain wet tonight until pre-dawn Thursday. At that time, some light accumulation on the roads is possible, which could impact your morning commute.
