Slick Spots To The South

Patches of dense fog have developed in parts of Dinwiddie, Brunswick and Greensville counties. In addition, temperatures in these areas are below freezing. These are perfect conditions for black ice to develop, especially on bridges and overpasses. If at all possible, postpone any travel in these areas until temperature rise above freezing later this morning.

Here is a map so you can track temperatures through the morning:

Quick Changes This Weekend

Saturday and Sunday will look very different as a storm system moves into the Mid-Atlantic region. Saturday will be a mostly sunny and seasonal day, with highs in the low 50s and just a thin layer of high clouds. Cloud cover will thicken Saturday night into Sunday morning, and skies will be overcast by sunrise. Rain will become likely Sunday, holding temperatures in the upper 40s in most areas. Saturday will be the best outdoor day! Have a great weekend,

Wintry Mix Exiting The Area

The last batch of light rain and sleet is rapidly moving to the east, so we will quickly dry off for the rest of this afternoon and evening. Most areas around Richmond saw a mixture of sleet and rain, but farther north there were reports of some light snow. Here is a picture from John Wheeler, our weather watcher from Ruther Glen. He says that the precip this morning started as snow, then changed to sleet and rain.
