A light winter mix is moving through Central Virginia early this Friday morning. A mix of sleet, snow, and rain is currently affecting the Richmond Metro Area, but no icy spots are expected to develop this morning as temperatures will remain above freezing here. Also, temperatures will remain above freezing in much of Central Virginia this morning. Only west-central parts of the Commonwealth are under a Winter Weather Advisory until Noon for snowfall accumulating up to two inches.
I expect the winter mix to become primarily a sleet/rain mix by mid-day and early afternoon, transitioning over to all rain by late afternoon Friday.
Meteorologist Aaron Justus is in with me this morning, and you can chat live with him on our CBS 6 Storm Blog!

Overnight Update
Latest data and radar trends indicate the best chance of snow overnight through Friday morning to be across west-central Virginia. The Richmond metro will get only a very light wintry mix of rain and snow, with a transition to all rain by 10 AM. No travel problems are anticipated in central Virginia, as low temperatures are expected to range from 34 to 37 degrees.
Winter Weather Update
The latest data continues to point toward a rain/snow mix across central Virginia overnight through early Friday. Surface temperatures will remain a couple of degrees above freezing, so little to no accumulation is expected in the metro area. A winter weather advisory has been issued farther north and west where one to two inches of snow will be possible. The wintry mix in central Virginia will transition to all rain by late morning. I'll have an update later tonight when new data becomes available. Storm Team 6 Meteorologists Carrie Rose and Aaron Justus will be tracking the storm through the early morning hours on the air and on the web.
