A Clear and Cold Night Ahead

At 3 PM Tuesday afternoon, only a few light snow showers remained across far southeast Virginia. Skies will gradually clear from west to east this afternoon and evening, setting central Virginia up for a cold night. Temperatures will fall into the teens area wide by Wednesday morning. Another round of winter weather will be possible this weekend, and I'll have the details tonight on CBS 6 at 5, 5:30, 6 and 11.

Snow Pictures from South-Central VA

CBS 6 Senior Reporter Wayne Covil captured these pictures as he explored South-central Virginia Tuesday morning, looking for which cities were snow-covered and where snow may have been causing trouble on the roads. Wayne reported safe travel on roads, which had been treated before the snow began falling overnight. The farthest North along I-95 that Wayne found snow-dusted ground was six miles North of Stony Creek.

Tuesday Morning Update 10AM

Very light snow continues to move northeastward into South-central Virginia Tuesday morning. However, it is struggling to make it north of the Stony Creek area, and I expect that trend to continue today. I am lowering expected snow totals to just a dusting from the Petersburg area south toward Stony Creek. Up to an inch is possible before snow finishes falling at Emporia, but a couple inches are possible the farther southeast in the state you go near North Carolina. Winter Weather Advisories and Winter Storm Warnings remain in effect until 6 p.m. for far Southern Virginia, but I still think only far Southeast parts of the state may receive a couple inches of snow.

We will keep you posted.
