Frosty Moon

Tonight's full moon is called the "frosty moon" for the shimmering reflection of the bright moonlight off of the November frost that is typical this time of year. We won't get frost in the metro area tonight, but the brilliant moonlight is illuminating a heavy dew and ground fog very well across central Virginia. Cold overnight lows later in the week could bring parts of the area the first freeze of the season. The average first freeze in Richmond is October 29th. The coldest temperature we have seen so far this season was 35 degrees on October 20th.

24 Hour Rain Totals

The heaviest rain has now moved out of our area and we will be stuck with patchy mist and drizzle for tonight. Rain totals were impressive in some locations, especially to the north and west.

Light blue ~ .5"
Dark blue ~ 1"
Light green ~ 2"
Dark green ~ 3"

Soggy Start To Sunday

It was a cool and damp start to today! Some locations west of I-95 have already picked up over an inch and a half of rain and more is headed this way. Showers will start to taper in the afternoon and especially this evening. Temperatures will hold steady near 50 degrees through the morning and then drop into the upper 40s in the late afternoon. I'm expecting skies to remain cloudy tonight and through Monday with a stray shower possible in the southeast corner of the state.
