A winter storm watch has been issued for all of central Virginia, with the expectation of another round of winter weather moving into the area on Tuesday. The precipitation should begin late Tuesday morning in the metro area as light snow. The snow will likely mix with sleet by mid afternoon, and will eventually change to freezing rain close to sunset. Surface temperatures should remain at or below freezing for a period of 6 to 9 hours as it continues to rain, allowing an appreciable accretion of ice on elevated objects and some roadways. The freezing rain will change back to snow a few hours after midnight, with snow tapering off during the morning Wednesday. Deepening low pressure just off the coast will create strong northwest winds Wednesday that could result in power outages, especially in areas that receive a good coating of ice on trees and power lines.
