Winter Weather Update

As of 6 PM, winter weather advisories were in effect for northern and western sections of Virginia, in the anticipation of a mix of winter precipitation on Tuesday. There are no advisories, watches, or warnings for the Richmond metro area. Areas in and around Richmond will see a period of snow early Tuesday, transitioning to rain by early afternoon. We will have a narrow window (roughly 7 AM to 10 AM) where surface temperatures are at or just below freezing after the snow begins. A light accumulation of snow will be possible early on, but with temperatures rising above freezing by 10 AM, no additional accumulation is expected. A more significant accumulation of ice and snow will be possible farther north and west. I'll have another update later tonight when the new upper-air data becomes available. For an early look at how things are developing, tune in to CBS 6 tomorrow morning at 4:30 AM. Meteorologist Carrie Rose will have the latest weather information in our special early newscast.

Believe Your Eyes, Richmond, Those Are Flurries!

As of 10:18 a.m. Monday, light snow flurries continue to move through much of Metro Richmond, as has been the case in other parts of Central Virginia this morning. Of course, it is not amounting to much of anything on the ground, but it makes for a lovely sight while it is falling. The flurries are along and north of I-64 at this time, and essentially along and east of I-95. Fredericksburg and into the Northern Neck are getting the light snow flurries, and up in D.C. over the past couple of hours as well. This activity is ending, though, from West to East this morning.
