Chance For Ice Diminishes

Temperatures continue to climb into the mid 30s and lower 40s across the entire area. Spotty light showers have developed in the southwest corner of the state and should slowly move into our skies later today. We will finish today with patches of light rain or drizzle and mild temperatures. In fact, temperatures will not drop off after sunset, instead they will hold steady or even rise!

Quiet For Now

Right now we have mostly cloudy skies and dry conditions. Temperatures across central Virginia are mainly in the mid 30s. Temps farther west in Charlottesville, Farmville and Lynchburg are hovering around the freezing mark. I've noticed a spot of moisture pop up in northern Buckingham county. More than likely that moisture is evaporating before it hits the ground.

I'm expecting isolated patches of drizzle will develop west of I-95 by late this morning. With temps near the freezing mark, some ice could develop. I will continue to monitor the situation and more updates through the morning.

Light Freezing Rain/Drizzle/Fog Possible Tuesday AM

Very dry air is in place across central Virginia, and temperatures are falling close to or just below freezing in many areas. A favorable pattern for light precipitation will develop overnight, possibly resulting in a brief window of icy weather. Fog, drizzle, or sprinkles could develop in an air mass that is near or below freezing for a few hours early Tuesday. The concern would be limited to bridges and overpasses, where a thin layer of ice will be possible.
